Comparing the development of different “time policies” of half-day and all-day provisions in a variety of Eastern and Western European countries since the end of World War II, this innovative volume brings together internationally known experts from the fields of comparative education, history, and the social and political sciences, and makes a significant contribution to this new interdisciplinary field of comparative study UR - https://doi.org/10.1515/9780857450975 UR - https://www.degruyter.com/isbn/9780857450975 UR - https://www.degruyter.com/document/cover/isbn/9780857450975/original ER -
