Abstract

The chapter discusses two sets of developments that impact national education systems in the post-national era. After a brief recollection of the development of education systems as a national endeavor, the chapter explores the (de-)construction of national education as it unfolds amid, first, territorial shifts related to what has been coined as “globalization” and “internationalization,” and second, amid topological processes fueled by digitalization and datafication. The contribution addresses new governmental arrangements that are related to digitalization, focusing particularly on new topological spaces, which seem to be brought into existence through new – global, digital, market-based – relations also impacting the understandings, socio-political-cultural legitimations, and operations of national education. By doing this, the chapter both introduces an international context in which national education systems are currently enmeshed and aims at sharpening our understanding of what national education can mean in contemporary times.
