ABSTRACT

While much literature has been produced on globalization, privatization, and the State individually, it has not been common to treat them together, at least not in the field of comparative and international education. There is excellent work that has documented the ways in which globalization and privatization have influenced education reform, but extant scholarship typically has not engaged with theories of the State. In this paper, through the case of Honduras, we explore the aforementioned issues. First, we draw on the approach of Critical International Political Economy (CIPE) to understand the ways that (political-economic) globalization and privatization have affected and manifested in both policymaking and the provision of education. The second half of the paper then turns the gaze back on the Honduran State and draws on State theory literature to consider why globalization and privatization have been able to be so influential in the first place.

摘要

虽然已经有很多关于全球化、私有化和国家的文献，但将它们放在一起对待的情况并不常见，至少在比较教育和国际教育领域是如此。有一些出色的著作记录了全球化和私有化影响教育改革的方式，但现有的学术通常没有涉及国家理论。本文通过洪都拉斯的案例，对上述问题进行探讨。首先，我们利用批判国际政治经济学（CIPE）的方法来理解（政治经济）全球化和私有化对政策制定和教育提供的影响和体现。
