This paper reports on pedagogical interventions designed to accomplish this. Policies on entrepreneurship education produced by the European Union from 2004 to 2018 were categorized according to the research questions: How are women to be educated? What subjects should be taught? And by whom? Policy analysis combined with a neoliberal feminist perspective was applied to understand why entrepreneurship education has not been as successful as expected. Findings show that the ideal teacher is a female entrepreneur whose knowledge just needs to be copied by the students. What is seen as useful knowledge is ideologically selected, including ways of thinking and behaving. According to policy analysis with emphasis on neoliberal feminism, the focus of the policies are not primarily about getting more women into self-employment, but an ideological education about how to think and behave “right.”","PeriodicalId":44727,"journal":{"name":"European Education","volume":"28 1","pages":"312 - 323"},"PeriodicalIF":0.8,"publicationDate":"2020-06-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"76802759","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The archival documents allowed the authors of the article to show how the aspirations and interests of the medical elite in the sacralization of their own role encouraged historians of medicine to develop not a scientific, but an epic version of the past and to repress other versions through political accusations and condemnation of colleagues. The textbook, which had been created and discussed for a long time in the 1940s, was never published. Nevertheless, the authors' reconstruction of its aborted conception made it possible to reveal its enduring formulations in later Soviet and even present-day textbooks, and enduring capacity to shape a Soviet style historical imagination in doctors.","PeriodicalId":44727,"journal":{"name":"European Education","volume":"118 1","pages":"257 - 270"},"PeriodicalIF":0.8,"publicationDate":"2020-06-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"87646452","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

One dominant force is corporate where concerns for market reach and profit-accumulation are changing both the content and processes of education. Exemplary in this regard is the role of Multinational Corporations (MNCs) such as McKinsey & Company, Laureate Education Inc., Pearson plc., Cambridge International or the RAND Corporation (Verger et al., 2016). Other forces are supranational and driven by the political philosophy of “international cooperation” (Karns & Mingst, 2010). Here, familiar and legitimate bodies and organizations reflect political and cultural desires and commitments and are well placed to reshape institutions of learning far beyond the culturally mediated boundaries of the nation and local community. These include regional bodies such as the European Union, the Arab League, the Organization of American States or the African Union, and intergovernmental organizations such as UNESCO, the World Bank, the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) or the Council of Europe. Yet another force is manifest in a growing voluntary or philanthropic sector. Here, new donors (e.g., Open Society Foundation, The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation) have significantly shaped long-held development priorities in ways that reflect the idiosyncratic views and interests of key elite actors (Verger et al., 2016). Closely related to philanthropy is “an embryonic transnational civil society” (McGrew, 1992, 2010)—a form of society consisting of a plethora of nongovernmental organizations, advocacy networks, think tanks, and communities of learning—which also seeks to regulate, or intervene in, global and local educational affairs. Rather than this evolving global education governance complex signaling an “end of the state,” we are witnessing the arrival of a new, more activist, state. Clearly, the old Westphalian conception of territorially sovereign statehood—the entitlement of states to rule within their own territorial space without external interference including the domain of education—is being displaced and transformed, but is by no means over, especially in the fields of education (Lingard, 2019) and culture (Appadurai, 2006). Locked into thickening and overlapping webs of transnational governance in education, states now assert their sovereignty as a tool of negotiation where power is bartered, shared, and divided amongst a range of global, regional and local actors, processes and institutions. Schooling, learning and the organization of education are thus in transition and on the move. Within this evolving new topography of governance and education, we can sense a new agenda of research that extends beyond the many methodological and theoretical “isms” that currently frame scholarship (Dale & Robertson, 2009). One specific area of interest has been the rise and implication","PeriodicalId":44727,"journal":{"name":"European Education","volume":"1 1","pages":"81 - 86"},"PeriodicalIF":0.8,"publicationDate":"2020-04-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"91276523","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
