Abstract
This book is based on a set of critical analyses of ongoing changes in education where issues of transnational governance are of vital concern. In the analyses, the authors focus on different aspects of and practices in educational reform making, with a special interest in governing techniques and the working of new agents such as supranational organizations and multinational organizations. In doing so, the contributions present theoretical insights considering critical relations between knowledge and power, governance and governmentality, and notions concerning educational systems and how these are compared. Since we are working with topics of transnational governance, the content of the book is international in terms of authorships as well as in research issues.
