    摘要、提要註: Our understanding of school choice and its impact on student well-being is under-theorised, and research is inconclusive in respect of the theoretical complexities involved in the way choice isoffered, understood and actualised within families. Having a choice between a poor school and a goodschool, whereas previously there was only a good school, does not increase well-being. And what useis the freedom to attend anyschool for those without the wherewithal to organise family life aroundtravel? School Choice and Student Well-Being attempts to construct a better understanding of theseissues and their relationship to choice and well-being. Part 1 is an up to date and very comprehensive review ofresearch on choice, globalization and the commodification of education, . Part 2 describes and adapts Sen's theory of capability to choice inschooling. The book comes at an important juncture in the provision ofpublic education in developed countries, as schools struggle to provide the rangeand quality of education demanded by parents and needed by students, and governments, facing theprospect of societal and economicdecline as a result of inadequate public schooling, rush to action.
