Abstract
Research on adult, professional and vocational education in a global world is
timely (Farrell & Fenwick, 2007). Globalisation and economic crises are the trends
that most dramatically transform the social, political, economic and ecological
spheres of our time and directly affect the everyday life of local communities and
workplaces. Current challenges set compelling requirements for the working and
learning of the members of communities. Over the past decades of adult,
professional and vocational education research, researchers have increasingly
addressed globalisation and its political, value-based and ethical underpinnings.
Work-related learning and the workplace as an arena of learning and education is,
in Fenwick’s (2001) terms, a highly political space, in which the requirements of
flexibility, specialisation, privatisation, and globalisation “change the nature and
environment of work and the desires of workers” (ibid., p. 5). This book
contributes to the current discussion on the global developments of working and
learning in the fields of adult, professional and vocational education in Europe.
These developments are full of paradoxes and contradictions, as Bratton et al.
(2008) point out in their critical examination of workplace learning in advanced
capitalist economies. It is therefore not an easy task to envision the future work and
the learning options it will eventually offer to workers. We are living in times of
uncertainty regarding the adult educational challenges on all societal levels of
working and learning (Alheit, 2002/2004).
