The analysis demonstrates that education systems which mainly concentrate on the needs of economic globalization can be seen as amplifiers of the globalization phenomenon. The relevance of the study is evident: The influence of the nation-state concerning educational issues gets increasingly lost in a time of globalization, being constantly handed over to private providers and international actors in the field of education. This research in the field of social science is based on an interdisciplinary conceptual framework concerning the fields of adult education; intercultural studies; peace, globalization, and development studies. The intention of the investigation is to describe alternative educational concepts which (are able to) react to the global challenges, as for example global and peace education. The main conclusion of this investigation shows that a reorientation concerning educational topics, which focuses on social cooperation, global solidarity, and a world-wide culture of peace, has to take place.</style></abstract><work-type><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Original article</style></work-type><section><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">118-124</style></section></record></records></xml>
