This text explores how the dynamics of globalization and
privatization have influenced State policy and impacted education
reform in Honduras. It makes the argument that understanding
education reform in post-colonial contexts requires that scholars
go beyond a surface-level description of such trends as
privatization to consider, in addition, the ways that the logics,
practices, and relationships that characterized colonialism
continue to be embedded in the apparatus of modern States. The
first part of the volume documents historical trends and the
evolution of privatisation in Honduras, while the second part
explicitly engages in an extended discussion of State theory,
before shifting to present a framework for depicting how these
logics are the foundational layer upon which states and global
governance have been constructed. The framework draws upon
scholarship from political economy, world systems, and
post-colonialism to depict the "ethos of privatization" at the core
of post-colonial States, wherein what drives the system is private
benefit, in the interest of individuals and their networks, but not
in the interest of those outside the State. Applying this unique
framework to the case of Honduras and offering empirical analysis
of the Honduran education sector, the changing role and priorities
of the State, and the increasing involvement of international
organizations, NGOs, and private actors in the provision of
education, the text increases understanding of how State theory
interacts with broader global dynamics to impact education. This
text will benefit researchers, academics, and educators with a
focus on international and comparative education, policy analysis,
globalization, and international development.
