N2  - Globalisms and Power: Iberian Education and Curriculum Policies examines the current effects neoliberal globalization is having on Spanish and Portuguese educational and curriculum policies and practices. In so doing, the book dissects the nexus between globalization (or globalisms), and power under a global policy momentum, and analyzes how neoliberal globalization strategies eagerly led by nongovernmental institutions determine and drive the educational agenda in each nation. Both Portugal and Spain were subjugated by menacing and murderous military dictatorships for more than four decades. Their education systems were therefore laced with an authoritarian, militaristic, racist, and xenophobic ideology. Portugal and Spain s secular authoritarian traditions and the strong influence of a conservative church are now dangerously entangled with the demands of neoliberal ideologies. They bring to the fore how education and curriculum policies and practices are determined, and how they in turn determine the dynamics of ideological production in society. This volume not only unmasks the massive artillery borrowed from the private sector to fix public education, it also lays bare the fact that nothing is natural, normal, or inevitable in this corporate global momentum
