The Global Educational Policy Environment in the Fourth Industrial Revolution ─ Gated, Regulated and Governed

Contributed by education and other researchers from around the world, the 11 chapters in this volume examine the governance of national education systems in the context of the fourth industrial revolution, or the digital age, particularly in the Global South. They consider how the hollowing out of the state under New Public Management created post-bureaucratic practices of education governance; the processes of governance that private and public, state and non-state actors, agents, and institutions use in reforming education systems, such as policy borrowing in teacher accountability, international teacher assessment models, a gender equality scorecard, and corporatization of education governance; and governing systems that use different mechanisms, such as network governance, collaborative governance, regionalism, the move from growth-driven to regulatory control governance, governance of educational systems in overseas territories, and the educational evaluative state.
