What is less well understood however is how and why has their influence grown so rapidly, and with what consequences. The essays in this important and timely book interrogate these questions in ways that are empirically grounded and analytically astute. They also examine how the various knowledge brokers, both traditional and emerging, collaborate and compete, and how their emergence has created a complicated and highly contested space of knowledge production in education, giving rise a range of important issues that policy makers and researchers can ill afford to overlook.’ – Fazal Rizvi, The University of Melbourne, Australia and The University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign, US Dec 2024 c 192 pp Hardback 978 1 0353 2641 9 c £90.00 / c $125.00 eBook • Elgaronline Children’s Rights in Professional Practices with Children and Youth Tara M.
