Book Review: Education in East Asia by Pei-tseng Jenny Hsieh (2013), 336 pp. ISBN: 978-144-1140-09-8 London: Bloomsbury.

This is the third book in the series Education around the World, a collection of volumes which is ultimately designed to look at education in virtually every territory of the world. Overall, the series is edited and guided by Colin Brock who, in the first book in the series A Comparative Introduction, clearly sets the style for what is a group of regional studies - of which the book reviewed here is one. The reader is advised to read the specific studies in the context of the original Introduction, which helpfully describes the relationship between international and comparative education and provides a context for reading the subsequent books in the series.
