Overview
Neoliberalism, with its worldview of competition, choice and calculation, its economisation of everything, and its will to govern has āsunk its roots deepā into Early Childhood Education and Care. This book considers its deeply detrimental impacts upon young children, families, settings and the workforce. Through an exploration of possibilities for resistance and refusal, and reflection on the significance of the coronavirus pandemic, Roberts-Holmes and Moss provide hope that neoliberalismās current hegemony can be successfully contested.
The book provides a critical introduction to neoliberalism and three closely related and influential concepts ā Human Capital theory, Public Choice theory and New Public Management ā as well as an overview of the impact of neoliberalism on compulsory education, in particular through the Global Education Reform Movement. With its main focus on Early Childhood Education and Care, this book argues that while neoliberalism is a very powerful force, it is ādeeply problematic, eminently resistible and eventually replaceableāĀ ā and that there are indeed alternatives.
Neoliberalism and Early Childhood Education is an insightful supplement to the studies of students and researchers in Early Childhood Education and Sociology of Education, and is also highly relevant to policy makers.
