This book examines how the Global Education Industry (GEI) has brokered funded and
implemented new conceptualizations of 'good' education. With a focus on new private providers
and policy actors in education the authors of the book analyze the impact of the GEI on
educational research policy and practice. How did philanthropies and foundations manage to
make their voices heard in school reform debates what are the implication of digital
technologies and data infrastructures on teaching and learning and should the fast advance of
the GEI be merely seen as a logical consequence of the commercialization of education? Moving
beyond single-country case studies the book focuses on key issues related to the study of the
Global Education Industry in an international context discussing the rationales processes and
impacts of current developments. This comprehensive book will be of interest and value to
scholars and researchers of the GEI as well as policy makers.
