TL;DR: In this article, an international cast of education policy analysts, educational activists, and scholars deftly analyze the ideologies underlying the global, national and local neoliberalisation of schooling and education, exposing the machinations, agenda and impacts of the privatising and'merchandisation' of education by the World Bank, the General Agreement on Trade in Services (GATS), biased think tanks, global and national corporations and capital, and the full political spectrum of Neoliberal governments.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors examine the effects of global neo-liberal policies on education and argue that these have increased inequalities globally and nationally, diminished democratic accountability and stifled critical thought.

TL;DR: This paper explored the mechanisms and ideologies behind neoliberal education, while evaluating and promoting resistance on a local, national and global level, and examined the activities and impacts of the arguably socialist revolution in Venezuela, the Porto Alegre democratic community experimental model in Brazil, the activities of the Rouge Forum of democratic socialist teachers and educators in the USA, Public Service International, resistance movements against the GATS (General Agreement on Trade in Services), and trade union and social movement and community/parental opposition to neoliberal education policies in Britain and in Latin America.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors focus on global trends in education policy during the current epoch of imperializing, militaristic, and neo-liberal global capital, based on an analysis that global capital in the form of dominant US multinational capital, together with its client governments, uses the repressive and ideological apparatuses of the state to advance its interests and to marginalize, terrorize, weaken, or kill those who stand in its way.

TL;DR: The authors argue that postmodernism provides neither a viable educational politics nor the foundation for effective radical educational practice and offer an alternative 'politics of human resistance' which puts the challenge to capitalism firmly on the agenda of educational theory, politics, and practice.
