The 2012 CCEAM Conference in Cyprus: Some Signs of the Field's Intellectual Maturity and Global Expansion.

To better understand the intellectual maturity of educational administration, I want to reflect systematically on papers presented at the 2012 Annual Conference of CCEAM to understand the sorts of works it contained in terms of topics addressed and types of papers, as well as authorship patterns of the presenters. Based on an analysis of 114 works presented at the conference, the papers seem to indicate high level of consensus about areas of research, samples, methodologies, and type of papers, despite the fact that they arrive from a wide variety of national and cultural contexts. Yet this is not to say that the knowledge presented at the conference was produced in a cumulative, developmental process characterising fields with a high level of intellectual maturity.
