Administrative legacies in policy enactment: The bureaucratization of gender equality in higher education
This article explores how administrative tradition mediates the enactment of gender equality policies within higher education institutions. Drawing on policy enactment theory and historical institutionalism, it analyses how institutional dynamics shaped by the Napoleonic administrative tradition influence the translation of policy mandates into practice in the context of Catalonia. The study employs qualitative data from semi-structured interview…
Putting Parental Pushback in Context: A Comparative Case Study of a School District’s Gender Policy-As-Practice
This study examines the formation and implementation of the New York City Department of Education’s Gender Guidelines. Drawing on 41 interviews with policymakers, professional development providers, and school staff, as well as policy documents and media sources, we examine how marked fears of pushback influenced policy formation and shaped how schools interpreted and took up the policy. The case of NYC offers a valuable example of how policies c…
Rethinking Sociological Critique in Contemporary Education: Reflexive Dialogue and Prospective Inquiry
Using action research to tackle school absenteeism: A participatory approach to local policymaking
Traditionally, absenteeism has been understood as a problem that requires individualised punitive measures. However, more recent studies have highlighted the importance and coherence of tackling it through community-based approaches in which the entire educational ecosystem is involved and participates. This article describes the methodological work employed as part of a comprehensive and community-based approach to creating a local plan for the …
When gender meets quality assurance in higher education: Policy innovation, conditions of possibility, and instrument co-optation
For decades, several actors and institutions have highlighted gendered power dynamics in (higher) education and have promoted actions and policies to address them. In many contexts, however, policies aimed at mainstreaming gender have often proved ineffective. This is the case in Catalonia's higher education system, where gender equality policy mandates have been systematically disregarded in the past. In an attempt to reverse this situation, pol…
‘Most Likely You Go Your Way (and I’ll Go Mine)’: School-level enactment of an educational innovation policy in Barcelona
Narratives on innovation in education are spreading fast and both national and local educational administrations have been recently promoting innovation policies and programmes in many different European contexts. Academic literature analysing the potential benefits of innovation in education has expanded accordingly, with some international organizations increasingly commissioning research aiming to study the impacts of educational innovation, e…
Post-colonial contexts, the state, and education reform: A framework for understanding the ethos of privatization
The central argument of this article is that post-colonial states operate-and have always operated, due to their roots in colonialism and capitalism-according to an "ethos of privatization," through which state agents derive private benefit from positions ostensibly responsible for providing public services. The article offers a framework for understanding the ethos of privatization as central to state behavior that is based on insights from lite…
The obstacle race to educational improvement: Governance, policies, and practices in disadvantaged schools
Contemporary educational reforms emphasise school autonomy, performance-based management, and accountability as necessary policies for attaining improvement goals. Despite their widespread adoption, the configuration and enactment of these policies are discretionary and contingent, deeply influenced by the interaction of local contexts, organisational features, and teachers' beliefs about policy and pedagogy. Apart from these challenges, schools …
Del discurso pedagógico a la política: La irrupción de la innovación educativa en la agenda pública
La innovación educativa ocupa un lugar central en el discurso pedagógico contemporáneo. La innovación se asocia a la introducción de mejoras educativas de distinta naturaleza, pero también, y en un sentido más amplio, a la configuración de la escuela como institución educativa moderna. A pesar de que tiende a ser concebida como un proceso bottom-up, e incluso espontaneo, la innovación educativa ha adquirido una gran centralidad en la agenda públi…
Globalization and privatization of education in Honduras-Or the need to reconsider the dynamics and legacy of state formation
While much literature has been produced on globalization, privatization, and the State individually, it has not been common to treat them together, at least not in the field of comparative and international education. There is excellent work that has documented the ways in which globalization and privatization have influenced education reform, but extant scholarship typically has not engaged with theories of the State. In this paper, through the …

Network governance and new philanthropy in Latin America and the Caribbean: Reconfiguration of the State
This paper draws on the literature on network governance and new philanthropy to characterize and explain the increased involvement of non-State actors in education policymaking in the Dominican Republic. The study reveals, first, how network governance has intensified since 2010 through hybrid public-private spaces of agenda setting, second, how these hybrid spaces have given way to the emergence of new philanthropy, which engages directly with …
Una economía política y cultural de las subvenciones estatales a la educación privada en Argentina
En comparación con otras modalidades de alianza público-privada (public-private partnerships o PPP) en educación de surgimiento más reciente como los programas de vouchers o escuelas charter inspirados en los postulados de la teoría de la elección pública, las políticas de subvención estatal a la oferta suelen responder a teorías del cambio menos explícitas. La mayoría de estas políticas son abordadas por la literatura como arreglos singulares y …
The sociology of policy change within international organisations: Beyond coercive and normative perspectives – towards circuits of power
For international organisations in the global education policy field, legitimacy is based in large part on the supposed techno-rational basis of these organisations and their ability to credibly produce knowledge and policy expertise. However, as the present article demonstrates, there are clearly a range of macro–micro organisational dynamics driving the production of knowledge and the policy ideas that are advanced. By revealing the way that a …
How and why policy design matters: Understanding the diverging effects of public-private partnerships in education
Despite Public-Private Partnerships’ (PPPs) growing popularity within education policy circles, research on their effects yields contradictory results. The understanding of PPP effects is limited by the prevalence of generalist analyses that neglect to acknowledge the exceptional heterogeneity of the policy frameworks in which PPPs crystallize. Building on a scoping literature review, this paper aims at identifying patterns of effects of main PPP…
The increasing role of non-State actors in education policy-making. Evidence from Uruguay
Over the last decades privatization policies have taken centre stage in many processes of educational reform globally. In Latin America, these policies have played an important role since the 1990s leading to an increasing participation of private agents in educational provision. The case of Uruguay stands out for having remained somehow apart from this privatization agenda. More recently, however, research has identified a significant shift in t…
Políticas, procesos y trayectorias de privatización educativa en Latinoamérica
Las políticas pro-privatización son un componente cada vez más importante en los procesos de reforma educativa en muchos puntos del planeta. América Latina es la región en la que la privatización educativa ha avanzado de forma más acusada en las últimas décadas. Sin embargo, la literatura académica sobre el tema es todavía escasa y son pocos los trabajos que adoptan una perspectiva regional. El objetivo de este artículo es desensamblar la natural…
Una segunda fase de privatización de la matrícula escolar? Los sectores populares y la educación privada en la Ciudad de Buenos Aires
Hacia finales de la década de 1940, el sistema educativo argentino comenzó a experimentar un proceso de privatización educativa expresado en la matriculación creciente de alumnos en escuelas privadas. Por sus características sociodemográficas y por aspectos estructurales de su sistema educativo, la Ciudad Autónoma de Buenos Aires (CABA) ha sido el epicentro del proceso de privatización. El objetivo de este trabajo es ofrecer una caracterización d…
Between open and internal privatization: The Argentine educational system from 1940 through 2010
The educational system of Argentina has undergone a process of decentralization along with a steady growth in private schools enrolment. This complex process is usually subsumed under the general concept of ‘privatization’. We have considered it necessary to provide a deeper understanding of the multiple dimensions this process of privatization encompasses. In this article we intend to analyze and reflect upon the transformations of the Argentine…
Huelgas docentes y educación privada en Argentina
This article analyzes teacher strikes in Argentina during 2006-2012. It stands out how teacher strikes prevail over claims from other unions, and are shown to be relevant events for education policy just for some provinces and only for public schools. We found that none of the policy measures implemented over the last decade has proven to be effective in reducing conflict. Analyzing a dataset on labour unrest, this study builds an index of teache…

Este artículo describe la experiencia y explora las circunstancias por las que el proyecto fue desarticulado y abandonado prematuramente. El estudio incluyó un profundo análisis documental y entrevistas con referentes del proyecto, ex…
The growth of private education in Argentina: Evidence and explanations
During the second half of the twentieth century, the Argentine education system went through a clear process of privatisation expressed in the increasing enrolment and state funding of the private sector. Especially in the 1990s, when the country implemented neoliberal economic policies, the academic literature had found in neoliberalism (in ideology, public policy and the enactment of certain laws) an explanation for this process of privatisatio…
