Environmental Education, Neo-liberalism and Globalisation: the 'New Zealand experiment'

Remove the world around the struggles, keep only conflicts and debates, dense with men, purified of things, you will have the theatrical stage, most narratives and philosophies, all of the social sciences: the interesting spectacle we refer to as 'cultural'.Whoever says where the master and the slave are struggling? Our culture cannot stand the world.(Michel Serres, The Natural Contract , 1995).

School-level Education Policy under New Labour and New Zealand Labour: A Comparative Update

This article compares the school-level education policies of the Labour-led coalition government elected in New Zealand in late 1999 with those of New Labour in England. It illustrates that the policies being introduced by the Labour coalition have been generally less managerial and market-oriented than New Labour's even though neo-liberal pressures are likely to constrain what appears to be a shift to the left in New Zealand. The difference between the two settings is explained through reference to party political and contextual factors and policy and research implications are also discussed.
