The purpose of this book is to investigate with conceptualization how reforms change educational organizations and subjectivities, and how educational organizations change reforms. The book gives an account of the power of conceptual endeavors, with close readings of empirical material.The book elaborates this through empirical investigations of the intertwinement of different educational reforms, of policies, standards, and everyday educational lives across the globe. As well as telling stories of reforms and how they transform and are transformed by the educational organizations and subjects they engage, the book highlights how a careful enactment of methodologies and critiques might enable a tracing of not only intended but also unintended effects of reforms. In this way, the book explores performative approaches to education reform and thus attempts to nuance the idea of causality and linearity in the implementation of education reforms.Engaging with performative approaches, this book scrutinizes how reforms are involved with the creation and shaping of the world and thus offers insight into what happens when reforms are borrowed, translated, and taken up in a range of ways. This book was originally published as a special issue of the International Journal of Qualitative Studies in Education.

World Yearbook of Education 2026 discusses the shifting geopolitics of Higher Education, directly engaging with an urgent call to theorize the academy as a site of power, politics, protest, and possibility.The volume brings together leading and new generations of thinkers from across the globe who draw on theoretical resources from sociology, politics, international relations, geography, gender studies, cultural studies, and post- and decolonial studies. Taken together, the chapters show how these epistemic resources can help us understand the current state of affairs in higher education and beyond. They reflect key dimensions of shifting geopolitics and their impact on higher education: multipolar superpower rivalry, autocratic populism, decolonial justice, and digital transformations. By anchoring the study of higher education in prevailing geopolitical tensions, the volume seeks to uncover the critical role of the university in contemporary global politics.By exploring higher education as a central institution caught within competing visions of world order, one rooted in international cooperation, another asserting the nation-state, and yet another challenging the very notion of the university as territorially fixed, the book offers a perspective on the university, which is in line with pivotal global developments. It is a must-read book for anyone interested in the new geopolitics of higher education and the future of the university globally.

This book offers an empirical and theoretical account of the mode of governance that characterizes the Bologna Process. In addition, it shows how the reform materializes and is translated in everyday working life among professors and managers in higher education. It examines the so-called Open Method of Coordination as a powerful actor that uses “soft governance” to advance transnational standards in higher education. The book shows how these standards no longer serve as tools for what were once human organizational, national or international, regulators. Instead, the standards have become regulators themselves – the faceless masters of higher education. By exploring this, the book reveals the close connections between the Bologna Process and the EU regarding regulative and monitoring techniques such as standardizations and comparisons, which are carried out through the Open Method of Coordination. It suggests that the Bologna Process works as a subtle means to circumvent the EU’s subsidiarity principle, making it possible to accomplish a European governance of higher education despite the fact that education falls outside EU’s legislative reach. The book’s research interest in translation processes, agency and power relations among policy actors positions it in studies on policy transfer, policy borrowing and globalization. However, different from conventional approaches, this study draws on additional interpretive frameworks such as new materialism.
