ABSTRACT The article is derived from a larger study of charities, philanthropists, policy entrepreneurs and international businesses in state schooling in Aotearoa New Zealand. The article considers the formation of a private professional services provider, CORE Education, and its recent corporate trajectory following the government’s decision in 2009 to make all School Support Services provision contestable by private providers. CORE Education is an interesting case of schooling privatization because the organizational structure comprises both a not-for-profit charitable educational trust and a wholly owned, for-profit business. CORE’s activities also illustrate the new network governance modality in schooling. In this modality, both bureaucratic and market forms of schooling services delivery are being displaced by fluid networks of domestic and offshore policy actors who seek strategic and tactical alliances in order to advance their voice and agency in schooling services policy development, delivery and evaluation. The article adopts a critical policy scholarship approach drawing on theories of social network analysis and network policy governance. The article claims that network alliances serve to blur the distinctions between for-profit and not-for-profit activity, between state, NGO and philanthropic actors and, ultimately, between what counts as private and what counts as public in state schooling.

竞争PLD服务：以CORE教育为例

摘要本文来自对新西兰Aotearoa州立学校中的慈善机构，慈善家，政策企业家和国际企业的更广泛研究。本文考虑了私人专业服务提供商CORE Education的组建，以及政府在2009年决定使所有学校支持服务条款都可以由私人提供商竞争之后的近期发展轨迹。核心教育是学校私有化的一个有趣案例，因为组织结构既包括非营利性慈善教育信托，也包括独资，营利性企业。CORE的活动还说明了学校教育中新的网络治理模式。在这种方式下 官僚和市场形式的学​​校服务提供都被寻求战略和战术联盟的国内和离岸政策参与者的流动网络所取代，他们希望在制定，提供和评估学校服务政策方面发挥自己的声音和作用。本文采用了基于社会网络分析和网络政策治理理论的批判性政策奖学金方法。该文章声称，网络联盟有助于模糊营利性和非营利性活动之间，州，非政府组织和慈善行为者之间的区别，以及最终在州立学校中区分为私人和公共之间的区别。交付和评估。本文采用了基于社会网络分析和网络政策治理理论的批判性政策奖学金方法。该文章声称，网络联盟有助于模糊营利性和非营利性活动之间，州，非政府组织和慈善行为者之间的区别，以及最终在州立学校中区分为私人和公共之间的区别。交付和评估。本文采用了基于社会网络分析和网络政策治理理论的批判性政策奖学金方法。该文章声称，网络联盟有助于模糊营利性和非营利性活动之间，州，非政府组织和慈善行为者之间的区别，以及最终在州立学校中区分为私人和公共之间的区别。
