This comprehensive book delves into the behind-the-scenes workings of the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) educational agendas. By examining the trajectory of its inaugural educational agenda, known as Recurrent Education, it sheds light on the institutional frameworks, operational processes, and decision-making mechanisms of the OECD. The volume seamlessly integrates theoretical frameworks and empirical evidence to explore the three interconnected constitutive dimensions of the organization: actors, arenas, and instruments. Through a detailed study, the book underscores the pivotal role of intertwined institutional and conceptual transformations in shaping educational agenda-setting and knowledge production within the OECD. The author shifts the attention from the diffusion and reception of international policies to their actual production, analyzing a substantial body of internal documents spanning the 1960s to the 1980s. This in-depth exploration provides valuable insights into the organization's historical development, its policymaking processes, and the broader implications of its educational initiatives for global education.
