Tomlinson
- societies have become glo-localised
- UK edu system combines global and local values leading to a hybrid edu.system

Cultural pessimist - fake new spread
Eagleton - globalisation = late form of capitalism
marxist point
- class inequalities spread globally
- r/c use their elite british edu system to maintain their dominant position
marxist evidence
Hawkins
- private skls - create a sense of connectedness and therefore creates social capital
- can then take part in elite cultural practices like tennis/golf/rowing
- ensures a high academic achievement and access to elite higher education
marxist analysis
- 11% of students in private skls are not british
- 107 uk private skls across the globe
- therefore DEA is created within the Uk and across the globe
