This book represents a set of critical analyses of educational
reforms where issues of transnational governance are of vital
concern. It focuses on different aspects of, and practices in
educational reform-making, and in particular on governing
techniques and the working of new agencies such as supranational
and multinational organizations. In addition, the book examines
contemporary issues of immigration/immigrants in the politics of
schooling, by reflecting on matters of migration, and
problematizing how concepts such as exclusion and abjection make
the migrants appear "failed", "insufficient" and even "dangerous".
The book provides theoretical insights into critical relations
between knowledge and power, governance and governmentality, and
notions concerning educational systems, as well as how these are
compared. The central themes of the book are models for organizing
and reflecting on transnationalization and educational reforms. In
its discussion of those themes, the focus lies on changing
conceptions of education and the educational system; on how school
or teacher education is adapting to discourses of effectiveness and
efficiency; and on their transformation according to standardized
templates. Such changing conceptions define the meanings of
education and educational progress; they are important for the
identification and analysis of educational knowledge, and for
critical discourses on education in society.
