Abstract

This paper is a sequel to the author’s 2018 BCES presentation in which the rationale was explained for developing a ‘new’ theory for analytically and critically examining problems in (comparative) education. An outline is given of the steps subsequently taken to develop the theory in more detail. It also sketches practical / pragmatic and theoretical possibilities for the future of the theory.
