Introduction:What Can We Learn About Global Education from Historical and Global Policy Studies of the OECD?
No full textAs an introduction to the book, this chapter outlines key characteristics about the role of international organizations in general and the OECD in particular in terms of global governance. The chapter thus also outlines some of the main research positions in the field and introduces the term governing complex. The chapter then presents a discussion on the role of history in global policy studies and argues that historical approaches contribute vital insights to our understanding of the contemporary workings of global governance in education. Finally, the chapter briefly introduces the structure of the book, including its three thematic sections and the chapters in each section
The Formation and Workings of a Global Education Governing Complex
No full textReviewing the arguments and findings of the chapters in this book, this concluding chapter illustrates the formation and workings of a global education governing complex. It explicates this governing complex and reveals its constitution, mechanisms, and trajectories, as well as the book’s connections and contributions to the fields of history of education and policy research. The chapter argues that an OECD-centred global education governing complex is characterized by 1) an historical trajectory going back to World War II and shaped during the bipolar world order of the Cold War, 2) distinct ideological components about capitalist economics pursuing economic growth based on human resources and the establishment of a well-functioning labour market, 3) underlying assumptions about the universality and general applicability of education programmes and practices, and 4) inherent values where education is a utilitarian endeavour. These aspects are too often overlooked in political discourse about education and must be critically studied across local, regional, national, transnational, and global perspectives
