This book aims to:

• Develop theoretical frameworks of the phenomena of internationalisation and globalisation and identify related ethical, moral, political and economic issues facing mathematics and science educators.
• Provide a venue for the publication of results of international comparisons on cultural differences and similarities rather than merely on achievement and outcomes.
• Provide a forum for critical discussion of the various models and forms of international projects and collaborations.
• Provide a representation of the different voices and interests from around the world rather than consensus on issues.
