The Privatization of Education
A Political Economy of Global Education Reform
Dear Colleagues,
We are pleased to announce the publication of our new book: The Privatization of Education. A Political Economy of Global Education Reform. On the basis of a systematic literature review approach, this book identifies and synthesises six different paths toward education privatization worldwide.
The book is the result of an in-depth investigation of the political economy of education privatization at a global scale. Among other things, it analyses the different strategies, discourses, and agents (including international organizations, policy entrepreneurs, philanthropic organizations, think-tanks, and teachers’ unions) that have contributed to advancing and/or resisting education privatization trends in very different educational settings.
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.
Stephen J. Ball: «The privatisation of education in its many different forms is now a basic component of education systems around the world. This book is a systematic account of these forms, their effects, and the politics of privatisation—global and national. Rich in examples, careful in its analysis, important in its conclusions and recommendations for further work, this book is a vital, rigorous, up-to-date resource for education policy researchers.»
Christopher Lubienski: «In this useful volume, some of the leading and emerging scholars of their generation offer important insights for our collective understanding of the political economy of market-oriented education reform. The authors brilliantly illuminate both the ‘why’ and the ‘how’ of this global trend toward market models for education, drawing on diverse cases from developing and rich countries to identify the multiple pathways by which privatization advances. Few issues are as significant but under-appreciated as is education privatization across the globe; few treatments of this issue offer both the breadth and nuanced understanding that this book does.»
