This book explores new modes, spaces and relations of the Organisation
for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD)'s global educational
governance associated with the PISA for Schools test. Adopting a
theoretically-rich policy sociology approach, with an emphasis on
topological understandings of spatiality and power, the book examines
the entire PISA for Schools policy cycle, from its initial
development, to its administration and promotion in the U.S., and its
local enactment by schools and teachers. It demonstrates how PISA for
Schools helps to steer how schooling is locally understood and
practised through separate and yet overlapping techniques: governing
by (1) heterarchy, (2) respatialisation and (3) 'best practice'. The
book reveals the specific effects of PISA for Schools as an exemplar
of how global educational governance is increasingly enfolded within
contemporary schooling, as well as discussing how we mightpractise a
policy sociology in which the local is acknowledged as a relevant
space of concern.
