The Anatomy of Studies Concerning Neoliberal Education Policies in the Literature of Educational Sciences
Journal for Critical Education Policy Studies, v22 n3 p306-344 2025
As neoliberal policies became widespread, the number of studies concerned with those policies also increased. This study aims to analyse articles which are concerned with neoliberal education policies in the literature through systematic review. The current study makes efforts, in its scope, to exhibit the descriptive properties (methodological approaches, data collection and analysis techniques, sources of data collection, years of publication, countries of publication, levels of education-policy), topical foci and context of the studies under consideration. A great majority of them were completed in theoretical and qualitative research methods. Setting out from the topical foci of the studies, five basic themes were distinguished in the systematic review of the studies concerning neoliberal education policies. They were labelled as "political economy of education", "ideological foundations", "neoliberalism practices", "transformation of education" and "imagining education differently". Studies scrutinising neoliberal education policies put forward the causes of the relevant policies, the ways they function and substantially their negative effects on the subjects of education with richness in content. The number of studies analysing the objection and resistance to neoliberalism or imaginations of different education beyond neoliberalism is scarce.
