- Summary:
- How, and to what extent, is education becoming a field of international and market governance? Traditionally, education policy making has been viewed as the responsibility of the nation state, falling within the realm of domestic politics. But recent years have witnessed the transformation of the traditional conception of the state, and globalization has introduced new actors and led to the internationalization and marketization of education. This volume provides the most comprehensive and up-to-date account of these new arenas of education governance, examining the impact of international organizations and the role of the market in policy making. It demonstrates how education policy is formulated at international levels, how it is influenced by market actors and what the consequences for national policy making will be.
