Educating Europe

The book will examine the ways in which an education policy field has been constructed in Europe since the early 1970s and will explore how this field has never really been peripheral or 'secondary' as, perhaps its silencing from mainstream EU integration studies and political science has rendered it to be. Rather, it will show the ways that governing education has been integral in the processes of creating a European home market, at the heart of the neo-mercantilist project in the '80s, as well as during the later dominance of the neo-liberal ideology in the'90s-2000s and the efforts to create a competitive supra-state.
