"This book embodies an impressive array of methods that should appeal especially to the needs of new scholars about to embark on research in comparative education. Chapter authors are recognized specialists in the field." --Erwin H. Epstein, Professor Emeritus, Loyola University Chicago, USA

"The scale, depth and accessibility of this new Handbook is awe-inspiring. Scholars with different expertise, studying different parts of the world offer insights into methods, research design and the construction of knowledge within comparative and international education. The Handbook can be engaged with in various ways and is relevant to all colleagues, no matter how senior." --Professor Claire Maxwell, Professor of Sociology, University of Copenhagen, Denmark

"The Bloomsbury Handbook of Method in Comparative and International Education (CIE) Is an essential reference to those new to CIE and those looking to explore methodological diversity in this interdisciplinary field. Beyond the wide range of methods provided, the editors have creatively structured the volume to make this massive volume accessible and enriching. Suggestions for readers in the introduction chapter detail the flexible approaches individuals can take including connecting chapters by themes, subject of study, or by the increasingly discussed 'post' approaches. Each chapter also includes a sample CIE study. By having all chapters speak to the same case study - on 'quality' primary education - readers are able to compare across methods, identify their intricacies, and what makes their application in CIE unique." --William Smith, Senior Lecturer in Education and International Development, University of Edinburgh, UK
