Abstract
This paper discusses the various ways privatisation processes affect
Irish education. Due to the long history of considerable church
involvement, the notable absence of middle tiers of governance,
and more recently, the embrace of neoliberal principles, in large
part due to and for economic reasons, the Irish education system
represents a fascinating example of a complex interplay between
the public and private sectors. The conceptual and analytical tools
provided by Cultural Political Economy are used in this paper to
highlight why and how privatisation has unfolded and might
yet unravel further in Irish education. These tools offer a useful lens
through which to examine country-specific developments, whilst
locating them in the global picture. Utilising the conceptualisations
offered by Cultural Political Economy, this paper demonstrates how
different forms of privatisation in Ireland have contributed to what
can be described as a complex system of governance with strong
private involvement.
