<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>This book explores the concept of intercultural competence, focusing specifically on education. Intercultural competence can vary depending on the field of research or the context of application and has therefore developed over recent decades. As the world becomes increasingly global intercultural competence has become even more important but it is still not practiced satisfactorily. This book highlights views which are at odds with official and orthodox positions on intercultural competence to encourage fresh approaches to intercultural competence. It will be invaluable for researchers, practitioners and students interested in the global possibilities of education.<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br>Fred Dervin is Professor of Multicultural Education at the University of Helsinki, Finland. He also holds professorships in Australia, Canada, China, Luxembourg, Malaysia and Sweden. He is one of the most critical voices on the meanings of interculturality in education today. <br>Zehavit Gross is the chair holder of the UNESCO Chair in Education for Human Values, Tolerance and Peace and the Head of the graduate programme of Management and Development in Informal Education Systems in the School of Education, Bar-Illan University, Israel. <br>
