Education privatization is a global phenomenon that crystallizes in
countries with very different cultural, political, and economic
backgrounds. In this book, the authors examine how privatization
policies are being adopted and why so many countries are engaging
in this type of education reform. The authors explore the contexts,
key personnel, and policy initiatives that explain the worldwide
advance of the private sector in education, and identify six
different paths toward education privatization- as a drastic state
sector reform (e.g., Chile, the U.K.), as an incremental reform
(e.g., the U.S.A.), in social-democratic welfare states, historical
public-private partnerships (e.g., Netherlands, Spain), de facto
privatization in low-income countries, and privatization via
disaster. Book Features: The first comprehensive, in-depth
investigation of the political economy of education privatization
at a global scale. An analysis of the different strategies,
discourses, and agents that have contributed to advancing (and
resisting) education privatization trends. An examination of the
role of private corporations, policy entrepreneurs, philanthropic
organizations, think-tanks, and teacher unions.
