DESCRIPTION:The intensified political focus on teachers internationally 
 – often centred on specific notions of ‘quality teaching’ and ‘tea
 cher effectiveness’ - over the last decades has been accompanied by a su
 rge in the research literature dedicated to the teaching professions in th
 e context of globalization. Forming part of the five-year TeachersCareers 
 project based at Université Catholique de Louvain\, the literature review
  introduced in this paper maps this emerging scholarly field and identifie
 s the multiple strands that help to constitute it. \n\nThe review is ‘co
 nfiguring’ - as opposed to ‘aggregative’ - in the sense that it seek
 s to configure\, or arrange\, the existing literatures and their findings.
  A main challenge in this respect therefore concerns the identification of
  groups of relevant titles\, as a basis for identifying key themes and maj
 or schools of thought and their variations\, including minority views and 
 dissent. Moreover\, the review aspires to be systematic in following a ser
 ies of distinctive stages in terms of delimiting the scope of the review\,
  defining inclusion criteria\, designing search strategies\, screening for
  relevance\, and in the coding and mapping of the relevant literature. In 
 doing so\, the review combines hand search of identified key contributions
  to the literature with searches in the Scopus and ERIC electronic databas
 es. Guided by the question how the ‘teacher problem’ is represented in
  peer-reviewed literature since 2000\, the review outlines and discusses t
 he main strands of the literature\, as defined by the strands’ distincti
 ve conceptions of globalisation\, the nature of policy and governance\, an
 d teachers as social and professional groups with certain roles in educati
 on and societies.
