He pays particular attention to the dynamics of exclusion and inequality, such as access to education for marginalized groups. Another research interest lies in collecting original comparative data on the performance, inclusivity, and generosity of educational institutions and systems. In addition, he develops innovative methods and data bases for analyzing policy diffusion and transfer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Title of doctoral thesis: \u201cGlobal Transformation of Education Systems.
