Die Komintern als historischer Ausgangspunkt eines weltweiten sozialistischen Bildungsraums.

The present paper describes international cooperation in the field of education under the auspices of the Comintern. Examples include the Comintern universities and the international children's homes. These examples serve to illustrate that socialist educational cooperation existed long before there was a bloc of socialist states, and that education played a central role in the establishment of a socialist educational space. This space is not dependent on the existence of socialist states, but is established through international cooperation among communist parties. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
