This book is located in the field of education governance and sits amidst debates on public school reform in China. It examines how a top-down policy approach has been implemented from central government right down to the district level within the public education system in China. It shows the way networks support negotiation and bargaining at the district level which, in turn, influences the broader education policy of the central government. Using statistical data from education yearbooks, government documents analysis and interviews with main stakeholders in this policy arena, the book incorporates case studies from railway State-Owned Enterprise schools. Analysis of these indicates that the processes of formulating and implementing Chinese education policy can be characterised as a form of network governance, which coordinates actors, decision-making processes and stakeholders’ motivation to comply with collective decisions in Chinese education. Network governance acts as an effective and legitimate way of problem solving that assists policy implementation and education reform in China. By comparing two traditional modes of governance (governance through bureaucracy and the governance through markets), this book shows the network mode of governance in Chinese education is more powerful and significant, especially since the negotiated results among actors in the policy community are favourable.

Exhibiting theoretical and empirical contributions from eight countries and economies globally, including Australia, Azerbaijan, Bangladesh, China, Malaysia and Vietnam, this edited volume seeks to address the nature of social contracts within and across the international school sector.Reflecting the intellectual outcomes of the Beijing Normal University–Durham University–Monash University academic exchanges, chapters provide a platform for researchers from such international contexts to discuss and exchange ideas about the theories, methods, and practices of education in an international schooling context with one another. The book offers diverse analyses of the place, purpose, and educational provision of international schooling in its current iteration. The conceptual coherence of the book invites readers to move beyond instrumental or market-driven interpretations of international education and to consider more fundamental questions of evolving social contracts between educators, families, policy makers, and students.Drawing from a wide-spread experience in the field of international schooling from leading scholars, this volume will be integral for researchers, academics and students in the fields of international education, education governance, comparative and international education, public administration, and sociology of education.
