This book provides a critical analysis of the neoliberal reform
agenda of the economic governance of schools. Focusing on the role
of the United States in this process, it explores the
transformation of schools in this agenda from educational
establishments to enterprises in a competitive education market.
The study uses Bourdieu to apply a field-theoretical framework to a
detailed empirical analysis of the current changes of school
government. Chapters explore education bureaucracy, reform and the
effect of outside organizations on pedagogy and testing. The book
reveals how far the promises of corporate education reform are from
reality and concludes with a plea for a realistic view of school's
capabilities. It goes beyond the state of the art with its focus on
how the governance of education, school and instruction is changing
with the replacement of educracy by an education-industrial
complex. The book will be of great interest for academics,
postgraduate students, administrators and politicians in the field
of education policy, the governance of school systems and schools.
The book also has an international appeal as it studies a global
transformation of the field of education.
