Towards A Political Economy Of Adult Education And Globalization: Theoretical Insights For Confronting Wicked Problems In Global Times, John D. Holst
Towards A Political Economy Of Adult Education And Globalization: Theoretical Insights For Confronting Wicked Problems In Global Times, John D. Holst

I discuss the implications of the findings in comparison to theoretical approaches toward the state in adult education.
