Educational privatization is often examined as part of government policy reforms. This “top-down” approach focuses on particular government policies such as the school-based management approach to decentralization or the growth of private universities. This book uses an alternative theoretical framework to understand the structures of privatization and the agency of those involved in the process. This framework can be conceptualized as a “bottom-up” approach that focuses on social practices. In this perspective, it is the very social interactions that constitute the phenomenon of privatization. Privatization is thus not only a government policy, but also a complex set of social practices, which influence and are influenced by historic patterns of culture and society. By looking at the histories, biographies, and social relations of a group of people in one community, Preah Go, the book explores the way in which everyday life constitutes privatization. date: 2021-03-30 date_type: published publisher: Routledge official_url: https://doi.org/10.4324/9781003149781 oa_status: green full_text_type: other language: eng primo: open primo_central: open_green verified: verified_manual elements_id: 1872516 lyricists_name: Brehm, William lyricists_id: WBREH56 actors_name: Brehm, William actors_name: Dewerpe, Marie actors_id: WBREH56 actors_id: MDDEW97 actors_role: owner actors_role: impersonator full_text_status: public place_of_pub: London, UK pagerange: 17-37 book_title: Cambodia for Sale: Everyday Privatization in Education and Beyond edition: 1st citation: Brehm, W; (2021) Everyday Privatization.
