点击翻译按钮获取中文摘要

The objective of my research it to understand how a global organization, the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD), has, since 2014, attempted to adapt its international standardized test (known as the Program for International Student Assessment, PISA) to the context of developing countries. The goal is to make clear the advantages and limitations experienced by developing countries when engaging with the OECD. In order to understand how the OECD engages with developing countries, and with what benefits and risks, I draw on the approach of policy sociology to produce and compare two case studies, on Honduras and Cambodia.
