Time in Education Policy Transfer
The Seven Temporalities of Global School Reform
Buch in deiner Nähe kaufen
Beschreibung
This open access book investigates a topic underexplored in policy transfer: time. Drawing on well-known theories from comparative education, public policy studies, political science, and sociology, but written in an easy-to-understand language, the author discusses seven temporalities of policy transfer: historical period, future, sequence, timing, lifespan, age, and tempo. The temporal dimension helps us understand when the current school reform, known as the school-autonomy-with-accountability reform, developed into a global script, why it conquered the globe, and how it was selectively adopted and translated into each local context. Also, for the first time in this book, the author demonstrates what exactly diffused and what “stuck,” that is, which features of the reform were eventually institutionalized. Internationally renowned for her seminal work on policy borrowing, the author systematically applies a comparative, transnational, and global perspective to capture the role of the OECD and the World Bank in advancing and accelerating the reform’s worldwide diffusion.
Gita Steiner-Khamsi is the William Heard Kilpatrick Professor of Comparative Education at Teachers College, Columbia University, New York, USA, and the Honorary UNESCO Chair of Comparative Education Policy at the Geneva Graduate Institute of International and Development Studies.

“A deep and sophisticated exploration of how policy transfer unfolds over time, a must-read for everyone interested in the dynamics of global diffusion.” (Andreas Wimmer, Columbia University, USA)
“Steiner-Khamsi offers a masterful and agenda-setting analysis of temporality in education reform that will shape debates for many years to come. The book will be indispensable for scholars and practitioners in comparative education.” (Patricia Bromley, Stanford University, USA)
“This book provides a compelling analysis of school reforms from an international perspective, skillfully disentangling the multiple dimensions of time in global policy transfers. An essential read for students, practitioners, researchers and anyone interested in education and policy studies.” (Osmany Porto de Oliveira, Universidade Federal de São Paulo, Brazil)
“With a magisterial command of comparative public policy theories, Steiner-Khamsi places time at the center of education policy transfer research. Her groundbreaking framework, rooted in seven distinct temporal dimensions, not only deepens our understanding of school-autonomy-with-accountability reforms but also redefines the analytical perspective on policy diffusion and institutionalization across diverse contexts.” (Antoni Verger, Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona, Spain)
