This book aims to provide a wide ranging analysis of the educational challenges posed by the treaty signed in Maastricht in 1992. It brings together an international group of specialists in the fields of educational theory, philosophy of education, politics of education, comparative education, and gender equal opportunities. Focusing particularly on pedagogic issues, it is essential reading for those engaged in educational research, for students of education, and for those working with European Union institutions.
