Introduction: The article examines the evolution of scientific production in Comparative Education in the 21st century, using a documentary analysis of articles published between 2000 and 2022. Methodology: A search was conducted in Web of Science and Scopus, selecting 877 articles that were analysed using MAXQDA Analytics Pro 2022 software. Results: A significant increase in publications on Comparative Education was noted during the 2010s. The main journals in this field are "Comparative Education", "Compare", and "Comparative Education Review". The predominant themes were education policy, international education, and social justice, with a notable presence of studies on the teaching profession. Conclusions: The scientific production in Comparative Education is growing, with more specialised journals publishing on the subject. Traditional areas of study remain central, although new themes are emerging in response to socio-political changes.
