Dear Colleagues,

An English translation of a chapter I wrote which was published last year in German (Bildung und Digitaler Kapitalismus) has been translated back to English and published in the Norwegian Seminar.net  as an article.  Entitled, “The Education-Industrial Complex Going Global”  here is a summary.

“In 1994, I first wrote about an education-industrial complex that was emerging in the United States. In 2013, Joel Spring and I published a book entitled, The Great American Industrial Complex: Ideology, Technology, and Profit.  The education-industrial complex was defined as networks of ideological, technophile and for-profit entities that sought to promote their beliefs, ideas, products and services in furtherance of their own goals and objectives. In the years since, the education-industrial complex has grown into a global phenomenon and has become a major force among powerful players (i.e., mega-corporations, international interest groups, and government officials) to influence education policy. This article describes the present global education-industrial complex and concludes with a call to monitor and study its further evolution.”

Seminar.net is open-access so take a look!
