The first volume to focus on the intersections of militarization,
corporations, and education, Education as Enforcement exposed the
many ways schooling has become the means through which the
expansion of global corporate power are enforced. Since publication
of the first edition, these trends have increased to disturbing
levels as a result of the extensive militarization of civil
society, the implosion of the neoconservative movement, and the
financial meltdown that radically called into question the basic
assumptions undergirding neoliberal ideology. An understanding of
the enforcement of these corporate economic imperatives remains
imperative to a critical discussion of related militarized trends
in schools, whether through accountability and standards, school
security, or other discipline based reforms. Education as
Enforcement elaborates upon the central arguments of the first
edition and updates readers on how recent events have reinforced
their continued original relevance. In addition to substantive
updates to several original chapters, this second edition includes
a new foreword by Henry Giroux, a new introduction, and four new
chapters that reveal the most contemporary expressions of the
militarization and corporatization of education. New topics covered
in this collection include zero-tolerance, foreign and second
language instruction in the post-9/11 context, the rise of
single-sex classrooms, and the intersection of the militarization
and corporatization of schools under the Obama administration.
