While it is discursively mobilised through institutional and sectoral restructuring and 'lifelong learning' (Robertson 2005) to enhance competitiveness (Slaughter & Rhoades 2004; Marginson 2006), education is also central to cohesion (Green & Preston 2001; Castells & Himanen 2002; OECD 2006). It focuses on these policies, their tensions, and their outcomes.
