Introduction
The idea for this special issue arose from the Second Conference of the Network on Policy Studies in Adult Education (active under the European Society for Research on the Education of Adults, ESREA), held in Aalborg, Denmark, on 18–20 June 2014. The theme of the conference was “Interrogating Sustainability in Adult Learning Policy”. At this conference, the question of how sustainability is, and could be, integrated into policies for adult learning in the multi-level context of different national, social and cultural environments was thoroughly and vividly discussed in sessions and plenaries.
Accordingly, theoretical and methodological questions arising in studying adult learning policies in national and transnational contexts were also confronted, and the concept of sustainable development itself was critically interrogated.
