Neoliberalism and Market Forces in Education: Lessons from Sweden. Routledge Research in Education Policy and Politics
Dahlstedt, Magnus, Ed.; Fejes, Andreas, Ed.
Routledge Research in Education Policy and Politics
"Neoliberalism and Market Forces in Education" provides a wide perspective on the dramatic transformation of education policy in Sweden that has taken place during the last 30 years, with a specific focus on marketization. The marketization of education in Sweden is set in the wider international context of changes in education systems. With contributions from researchers across a wide range of scientific disciplines, the book provides examples of the consequences of market orientation in education in terms of increase in inequality as well as in terms of what the market orientation means for principals, teachers, and students. It considers how Sweden has developed one of the most marketized education systems in the world and the possible consequences of such processes, as identified by research. "Neoliberalism and Market Forces in Education" will be of great interest to educational practitioners, politicians, scholars in the field, and postgraduate and research students in education. This book contains the following chapters: (1) Market forces in Swedish education (Magnus Dahlstedt and Andreas Fejes); (2) Public schools' market strategies (Håkan Forsberg and Mikael Palme); (3) Equity and choice for newly arrived migrants (Dennis Beach and Marianne Dovemark); (4) Consequences of free school choice and local responses (Viktor Vesterberg and Magnus Dahlstedt); (5) Market reforms in Sweden and the OECD (Anders Trumberg); (6) Representations of a school in constant crisis (Eva Reimers); (7) 'Market relevance' and the academic-vocational divide (Mattias Nylund); (8) Fostering entrepreneurial citizens (Magnus Dahlstedt and Andreas Fejes); (9) Neoliberalising adult education (Marie Carlson and Bengt Jacobsson); (10) A stimulating competition in the upper secondary school market? (Ann-Sofie Holm and Lisbeth Lundahl); (11) Procurement as a market in adult education (Andreas Fejes and Diana Holmqvist); (12) School fairs as the market place of education (Martin Harling); (13) Swedish school companies going global (Linda Rönnberg); (14) School inspection and the market (Sara Carlbaum); (15) Trust-based evaluation in a market-oriented school system (Jonas Vlachos); and (16) Lessons from Sweden (Andreas Fejes and Magnus Dahlstedt).
