The Impact of Neoliberalism and Globalization on Education
Abstract
Neoliberalism, which was put in effect as a world system in the very beginning of
the 1970s, has had enormous impact throughout the whole economy while exerting
immense effect in the field of education. As neoliberalism gave rise to radical changes
in the economy, it became unavoidable to adopt relative policies in education as the
super-structure of the system to be settled without being alienated. Through this
unavoidable process the education which has the potentiality to recreate the individual
and the society as a whole has been transformed from a service of merit goods in
quality to solely a transactable commodity. The result of transforming education as
a transactable commodity caused deterioration in the quality of the service which
in turn caused increased social inequality. Such detrimental results of newly formed
education attracted the attention of radical thinkers to the issue. In this context in the
first part of the paper changes in the content and the role given to education caused
by neoliberal policies in an effort to create a homoeconomicus are discussed together
with an in-depth analysis carried out to trace out the effect of Social Darwinism on
intellectual and social dynamics. In the following parts of the article the role of the
state in establishing education to reproduce labor power and social production as
a whole on the basis of market approach is discussed. In the last part of the article,
some critical views concerning the theory of human capital and the question as to why
globally applied neoliberal policies cannot be considered as appropriate policies in the
way of developing the quality of education are elaborated. Depending on such ideas it
is argued that the nomocracy approach on the economic basis and Social Darwinism
on the social basis constitute two pillars on which neoliberal system depends, yet such
policies do not comply with endogenous development model, neither do they provide
any guidance for developing economies towards their aimed targets.
