This article, which serves to introduce the special issue on “Contesting Coloniality: Re- thinking Knowledge Production and Circulation in Comparative and International Edu- cation,” brings to the fore the rarely acknowledged colonial entanglements of knowledge in the field of comparative and international education (CIE). We begin by showing how colonial logics underpin the scholarship of one of the field’s founding figures, Isaac L. Kandel. These logics gainedlegitimacy through the Cold War geopolitical contexts in which the field was established and have shaped subsequent approaches including the much-debated world-culture approach to globalization in education.
