本文关注的是欧洲教育治理性质的变化。它着眼于欧洲委员会与教育结盟的方式中不断变化的话语和政策实践，并讨论了管理欧洲教育空间的工具和资源发生重大转变的原因。文章认为，除了其他重大发展外，知识经济对欧洲的教育治理产生了两个重大影响：首先，政策话语和实践的快速变化，从构建欧洲“文化”转向由数字统治的学习欧洲；其次，教育正慢慢从欧洲治理的边缘走向其政策制定的核心。本文讨论了推动这一转变的治理新技术，并说明了进一步认识和研究这些技术的重要性。
This article focuses on the changing nature of education governance in Europe. It looks at the shifting discourses and policy practices in the ways in which the European Commission has aligned itself to education and discusses the reasons for what is presented as a substantial shift in the tools and resources for governing the European education space. The article suggests that, alongside other significant developments, the knowledge economy has had two significant effects on education governance in Europe: first, a rapid change of policy discourse and practice, moving from constructing a European ‘culture’ to a Europe of learning governed by numbers; and second, education is slowly moving from the margins of European governance to the very centre of its policy making. The article discusses the new technologies of governance that have powered this shift and makes a case for the significance of recognising and studying them further.
