Abstract
This book focuses on new patterns of governing associated with the notions of welfare, care, and education that have emerged during the late twentieth and early twenty-first century in light of historically and culturally specific, and global, relations. Recent changes in welfare state provisions have produced multiple changes in different institutions related to the structure of “care” and education for the family and the child. But when looking across nations, there is a certain similarity in the changes occurring that some suggest is related to the globalization of cultural, or political, economic patterns. We critically examine the emergence of similar ideas across different spaces through cultural and historical analyses, and by theoretically examining the ways in which local knowledge and practice travel and get translated in other places and spaces.
