Regulação e risco na governação da educação
De algum tempo a esta parte, temos reflectido nos nossos ensaios sobre as consequências das mudanças no estado providência keynesiano, no sentido daquilo que designamos por estados competitivos, de acordo com Cerny, e sobre o efeito dessas mudanças para a legitimação do sistema, o papel da educação neste processo e as consequências dessas alterações para a educação e para a sua própria legitimação

PreambleThis will be a rather unusual review in that the quality and complexity of the separate chapters cannot possibly be contained within the word limit for the review. Given that, my strategy h
Education and the capitalist State
This chapter argues that the most important consequence of focusing on state provision of education is that it enables to see that the basic problems facing education systems in capitalist countries derive from the problems of the capitalist State. It suggests that three broad core problems can be isolated, support of the capital accumulation process, guaranteeing a context for its continued expansion, the legitimation of the capitalist mode of p…
Governance of Educational Trajectories in Europe
Drawing on findings from a large EU-funded research project that took place over three years, this book analyses educational trajectories of young people in eight European countries: Finland, France, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands, Poland, Slovenia and the United Kingdom. Contributors explore interactions between structural and institutional contexts of educational trajectories, the individual meaning attached to education and the strategies ado…
The under-recognition of the significance of social class conceptions of education in Piketty’s Capital
Piketty’s Capital has created enormous interest around the world, not least in educational circles. One reason for this may be his readiness to refer, in a book largely focused on economic history, to the ways that education has, and might, contribute to better and more equal social outcomes. This article welcomes this approach, but argues that Piketty’s suggestions remain somewhat limited due to his adherence to a more or less distributional, ra…
Employability and mobility in the valorisation of higher education qualifications
In the last two decades, we have witnessed a rapid expansion of higher education in Mainland China and Taiwan, recording a significant increase in higher education enrolments in these two Chinese societies. The massification of higher education in China and Taiwan has inevitably resulted in an oversupply of university graduates, with growing social concerns for skills mismatches being found in the labour market, stagnant graduate employment and s…
Conjunctions of power and comparative education
This paper develops the basis of a comparative sociological account of the present state and potential of Comparative Education (CE) as a field of study by examining the mechanisms and contexts generated by three ‘conjunctions’ of power and CE. The first of these concerns issues of power over the field, how it has been, and is being, framed by the operation of ‘power’ of various kinds. Power over what counts as CE emerges through three forms of s…
Towards a ‘critical cultural political economy’ account of the globalising of education
This paper outlines the basis of an alternative theoretical approach to the study of the globalisation of ‘education’ – a Critical, Cultural Political Economy of Education (CCPEE) approach. Our purpose here is to bring this body of concepts – critical, cultural, political, economy – into our interrogation of globalising projects and processes within what we will refer to as the ‘education ensemble’ as the topic of enquiry, whose authoritative, al…
Obituary for Stuart Hall
There have been many obituaries for Stuart Hall—the great cultural theorist and public intellectual, who died in February—all remarking on the wider significance of his work and life, especially his unrelenting commitment to social justice and his wonderful humanity. He was successful not only in extending the borders of social science, and cultural studies in particular, but in doing so in such brilliant and accessible ways as to make him possib…
The social condition of higher education
This article aims to discuss the relationship between higher education (HE), globalisation and regionalism projects focusing on HE in Latin America and Brazil. It is claimed that HE has predominantly taken the diverse, yet concerted and co-ordinated routes of globalisation and regionalisation and, by doing so, been profoundly transformed. The first section considers a set of theoretical categories in relation to the phenomena of globalisation and…

A sociologia da educação e o Estado após a globalização
Em The State and education policy (1989) argumentava que (1) os sistemas de educação e as políticas educacionais, enquanto partes do Estado, eram moldados pela sua contribuição à solução de três condições de existência "centrais" do capitalismo (o apoio infraestrutural ao processo de acumulação, a construção da ordem social e a legitimação do sistema) e (2) as "soluções" para esses problemas tendiam a ser mutuamente contraditórias, sendo essas co…

Renewing or rupturing the sociology of education
Os diferentes papéis, propósitos e resultados dos modelos nacionais e regionais de educação
Este artigo discute a natureza e as posturas, atualmente variáveis, da educação por meio da distinção entre os papéis, propósitos e resultados de modelos educativos em níveis nacional e regional (supranacional, não subnacional). Propõe também o surgimento de um novo tipo de modelo regional de educação, que difere dos modelos nacionais em termos de conteúdo, papel e objetivo, e mantém com eles uma relação que não é de hierarquia, de convergência n…

Changing Meanings of "the Europe of Knowledge" and "Modernizing the University," from Bologna to the "New Lisbon
No European country is large enough or strong enough to step into the knowledge era by itself. Given the scale of operations of our global competitors, it is not logical or efficient for any individual EU member to go it alone. The challenge is global; the response has to be European. Only if Europe plays as a team will we regain the lead in the world knowledge league.... Of course, it is important to uphold the principle of subsidiarity: educati…
From comparison to translation
This paper addresses Appadurai's challenge to expand the research imagination. It follows Boaventura de Sousa Santos in suggesting a need to separate analytically the trajectories of capitalism and modernity. For Santos, this involves the recognition that we cannot solve the problems of postmodernity with the tools of modernity. The paper approaches this problem through a focus on the idea of comparison as a high point of modern social science. I…
Construire l'Europe en bâtissant un Espace Européen de l'Éducation
Cet article considère les transformations caractérisant l’usage et la nature des mécanismes particuliers de “gouvernance souple” (soft gouvernance), tels que les indicateurs et les seuils de performance (benchmarks), à l’œuvre dans la construction d’un Espace Européen de l’Éducation (EEÉ).

Globalisation, knowledge economy and comparative education
This paper seeks to introduce this special issue by setting out what seem to be some of the major theoretical and methodological issues raised for comparative education by the increasing prominence of the discourses of the knowledge economy, which, it is argued, represent a particularly strong version of globalisation and its possible relationships to education systems, and hence an especially acute challenge to comparative education. It focuses …
The Potentialities of “La mesure en éducation
The central focus of this paper is the use of indicators in the construction in specifying and monitoring the response of Member States education and training systems to the goals for the future of the EU set out after the Lisbon summit in 2000, which called for Europe to become ‘the most dynamic, competitive, knowledge-based economy in the world, capable of sustained development, with more and better jobs and greater social cohesion’. Education’…

Positive poststructuralism? A response to Ninnes and Burnett
I am grateful to the editors for this opportunity to comment on a paper that seeks to strengthen the theoretical purchase of comparative education through an investigation of how poststructural approaches have been, and possibly might be, deployed in comparative education. This promises a further means of responding to the necessary theoretical and conceptual self-reflection that comparative education is undergoing in the light of changes brought…
Specifying globalization effects on national policy
This paper attempts to clarify the concept of globalization and to specify how globalization affects national education systems. It argues that though globalization represents a qualitative change in the nature of national- supranational relations, this does not necessarily imply greater homogeneity of policy or practice in education. The paper's particular focus is the mechanisms through which the external effects on national education systems a…

The Thatcherite project in education
Despite the broad coherence of the Thatcherite Project, it contains a central contradiction of which the CTCs are emblematic. The contradiction is described as 'conservative modernisation' - associated with economic liberalisation and social controle Examing the CTCs under four headings: choice, selection, control and content it is concluded that they have failed, in their aim to attract private funding, are unpopular with almost all educational …
Local States of Emergency
In the present paper, we argue that neo-liberal governance regimes are deeply contradictory and that these contradictions are increasingly evident within the education sector. Drawing on a case study of the consequences restructuring in education in New Zealand, arguably a paradigm case of neo-liberal governance, we suggest the state is faced with a dilemma about how best to manage these tensions and contradictions within the framework of the pol…

The Political Sociology of Education
The study of how the agenda for education is made up and translated into what goes on in schools was until very recently undertaken from a number of different and quite separate disciplinary bases. The approaches of educational administration and sociology of education differed considerably both in intensity and purpose, though they were on the whole mutually indifferent rather than mutually hostile. Political science, as Tapper & Salter pointed …

Constructing a Long Spoon for Comparative Education
This article seeks to put forward one tentative basis on which comparative education might profit from an engagement with 'globalisation', and to circumvent the danger that that engagement will lead to a shift in purpose, from 'how to make education better' to 'how to make education do better'. It uses the example of the career of the New Zealand model of neo-liberalism and new public management to expose, from the perspective of how a 'localism'…

Gats and the Education Service Industry
One consequence of the hype around globalization and education and debates on global political actors such as the World Bank, IMF and WTO-is that there has not been sufficient attention paid by education theorists to the development of a rigorous set of analytic categories that might enable us to make sense of the profound changes which now characterize education in the new millennium. 1 This is not a problema confined to education. Writing in th…
