Zusammenfassung

The chapter discusses two sets of developments that impact national educationsystems in the post-national era. After a brief recollection of the development ofeducation systems as a national endeavor, the chapter explores the (de-)construction of national education as it unfolds amid, first, territorial shifts relatedto what has been coined as "globalization" and "internationalization," and second,amid topological processes fueled by digitalization and datafication. Thecontribution addresses new governmental arrangements that are related to digitalization,focusing particularly on new topological spaces, which seem to bebrought into existence through new - global, digital, market-based - relationsalso impacting the understandings, socio-political-cultural legitimations, andoperations of national education. By doing this, the chapter both introduces aninternational context in which national education systems are currently enmeshedand aims at sharpening our understanding of what national education can mean incontemporary times.
