Abstract: After a reinforcement, in the “United Nations Conference on Sustainable Development,” of the role of education to facilitate sustainable development, pluralism has garnered significant support. Following this, the present article seeks to make a valuable contribution to the ongoing discourse surrounding pluralism in economics education and teaching, along with the obstacles it encounters in attaining its goals. In doing so, the data from 1981 to 2023 have been retrieved from the Scopus database, on which the systematic literature review (SLR) combined with bibliometric analysis is applied to arrive at the present results. After adopting a careful bibliographic data retrieval process following the PRISMA technique, a final dataset of fifty-five research articles resulted in 3 major themes after performance analysis. The article further documents the institutional barriers that might restrict the application and existence of pluralism. Further, the future thematic evolution analysis clearly states the basic, emerging, niche, and motor themes, which can form the context and construct for future studies.
