A novel contribution for those interested in understanding the significance and impact of global educational leadership, this edited volume examines and maps educational leadership strategies and theories that foster equity, inclusion, resilience, and sustainability in various geopolitical, cultural, and linguistic contexts.

Underpinned by theories and case studies focusing on aspects of global leadership, the book discusses the impact of global migration, health crises, geopolitical conflicts, artificial intelligence, and climate change on education and leadership praxis. The chapters present a wealth of truly international perspectives, with contributions from countries such as China, Finland, Greece, Guatemala, Japan, Nepal, Nicaragua, Sweden, Taiwan, Türkiye, the UK, and the US, as well as from indigenous communities such as those based in Ecuador and Canada. The book further delves into contemporary challenges and opportunities that are presented to global leaders from various lenses, including migration, artificial intelligence, disability, feminist perspectives, and mentor-youth relationships.

This book will be of relevance to scholars, postgraduate students, and researchers in the fields of educational leadership strategy, international and comparative education, and social justice education. Policymakers and practitioners in international organization may also benefit from this volume.
