This volume centers on the rise of newer modi operandi and modes of education governance at the genesis of the so-called Fourth Industrial Revolution. Across the globe, unfettered globalization has 'paused' and there is a retreat towards intensified forms of cooperation and collaboration at the supranational level. At the national level, corporate managerialism has failed to yield the promised reforms, and substantial disparities persist across national levels in education as well as the social, political, and economic sectors. In drawing upon examples from the Global South, authors in this volume illuminate how endogenous and exogenous actors, institutions, and mechanism are redrawing the geometries of governance in national education systems. Collectivity, authors show that as national education systems continue to be hollowed out, through the use of neo-corporatist, New Public Management planning and ratinalizations, conflict arises across the various scales of the politics of education as governments seek to regulate national policy mandates, supranational aspirations and international benchmarks and, commitments.
