This collection focuses on transformations in the governance of education, paying attention to the trans-nationalisation of educational policies and the emergence of new actors in education. The book is a contribution to this field of research, focusing on the new roles and responsibilities of elites inside and outside the education state.

En las últimas décadas, la tendencia internacional de las políticas educativas estuvo orientada a generar mejores condiciones para garantizar el derecho a la educación de los sectores sociales más afectados por las desigualdades sociales y educativas. La ampliación de la obligatoriedad de la educación secundaria colocó a las escuelas en situación de poner en acción (enacted) múltiples y diversas iniciativas que en formato de planes, programas y proyectos poblaron el cotidiano escolar e introdujeron lógicas, prácticas y efectos cuyo alcance y profundidad buscamos indagar en este libro. En la primera parte del libro, se ponen en diálogo un conjunto de herramientas teórico-metodológicas y resultados de la producción intelectual de reconocidos investigadores, como referenciales interpretativos de las políticas educativas y sus efectos en el quehacer de las instituciones escolares y de los sujetos que las habitan. En la segunda parte, se presentan las producciones del Grupo de Investigación y Estudios de Política Educativa (GiEPE), Sub-proyecto I (Educación Secundaria), (CIFFYH-UNC), conformado por becarios CONICET (Doctorado y Posdoctorado), investigadores de otras instituciones y colegas de Brasil que realizaron sus estancias doctorales y posdoctorales estudiando las políticas educativas cuando llegan a las escuelas.
