Book excerpt: This book presents case studies of educational innovation in a number of Mediterranean countries. Each chapter provides the reader with a background detailing key national socio-cultural, economic, and political dynamics that drive educational development in the region. As they attempt to meet the challenge of participating in the global economy, several countries in the south of Europe and the Middle East and North African region look toward formal education to bring about change - be this through curricular reform, the introduction of information technology, or the engagement of new and more effective forms of instruction. This collection provides important insights into the process of innovation and the role that education plays in modernization.
