Educational Leadership: Culture and Diversity Clive Dimmock and Allan Walker
This book focuses on the interrelationship between educational leadership and culture. Drawing on extensive first-hand experience, Dimmock and Walker explore differences in educational leadership and management across various countries with diverse cultures. They show how the over-reliance on Anglo-American approaches can be misleading, instead advocating approaches that recognize the interdependence of leadership, context and culture.
Key features include: A framework for exploring the influences of multiple and diverse cultures on school leadership In-depth comparative analysis of Anglo-American and Asian schooling and educational leadership. The leadership of multi-ethnic schools, with particular reference to the UK. This book is essential reading for professionals and students of educational leadership and management, as well as administrators.

Allan Walker is Professor and Chair of the Department of Educational Administration and Policy at the Chinese University of Hong Kong.
