Networks and the History of Education1

Abstract

I would like to thank Klaus-Peter Horn, Daniel Lindmark, and Christoph Luth for their critical comments and Janine Micunek Fuchs for editing this introduction. The issue editors also appreciate Sandra Rademacher's engagement in copy-editing the other essays. Finally, the three editors would like to thank Frank Simon, who made this issue of Paedagogica Historica possible. The essays compiled in this issue are revised versions of papers presented in the sessions on 'Informal and Formal Cross-Cultural Networks in History of Modern Education' organized by the Standing Working Group on Cross-Cultural Relations in Education at the International Standing Conference for the History of Education in Geneva in 2004.
