Processes and Mobilities of Policy

This subject will examine the global mobilities of approaches to education policy and governance, including the processes involved in the movement of education policy ideas and the dynamics of local enactment. Students will analyse global/local intersections, focusing on the production and circulation of global policy trends and their impact and resistances regionally, nationally and locally. The subject will also involve a critical analysis of the role of education governance networks that influence policy processes, and the influence of different types of policy actors, including state and non-state institutions, organisations, businesses and individuals.
