“…on the connection between Smith"s life and work. 56 This was because he became increasingly concerned that he had been unduly influenced in using the political events of his own day as an interpretive device for the economic theory that Smith had created for his day a generation previously.…”

Friedrich List"s National System of Political Economy continues to be positively received in IPE, where it is treated as a seminal text in development theory. Only a handful of IPE scholars have questioned the specific history of economic ideas through which List asserted the distinctiveness of his own position. They do so by showing that he deliberately put words into the mouths of his classical political economy predecessors to provide himself with something to argue against. His alleged authority on development issues rests in particular on purposefully caricaturing the arguments of Adam Smith. I use this article to suggest a plausible reconstruction of the route to List"s Smith, one which recognises the possible intermediary influence of the early Dugald Stewart, John Ramsay McCulloch, the Earl of Lauderdale and Georg Sartorius. By following this complex trail to List"s rather eccentric Smith historiography, it becomes possible to break down one of the most important oppositions in IPE pedagogy: that between List"s National System and Smith"s Wealth of Nations. Moreover, it also becomes necessary to engage more circumspectly with List"s history of economic ideas when searching for the origins of contemporary critically-minded development theory.

“…As Ross & Gibson (2007) contend, the economic, political, and cultural aspects of society are affected by the values, ideologies, and practices of neoliberalism. Ward & England (2007) outline four main features of neoliberalism: neoliberalism as an ideological hegemonic project, neoliberalism as policy and programme, neoliberalism as a state form, and neoliberalism as governmentality.…”

“…A critical review shows that the objective of the plan is to connect education with market-driven economic forces. Education is a key target of the neoliberal project because of the market size, which is indicated for instance by global spending on education, which is more than $1 trillion (Ross & Gibson, 2007). The demand of the market shapes the nature of higher education, whereby the role of the state is redefined in such a way that the lead role is played by market forces.…”

“…The demand of the market shapes the nature of higher education, whereby the role of the state is redefined in such a way that the lead role is played by market forces. Nonetheless, neoliberal policy itself is a political paradigm which is projected to redefine the political views and ideologies of the people connected with the capitalist system (Ross & Gibson, 2007).…”

Neoliberal Policy in the Higher Education Sector in Bangladesh: Autonomy of Public Universities and the Role of the State

Since the 1990s, enormous changes have been made in the higher education sector in Bangladesh. The government promulgated the Private University Act in 1992, and formulated a 20-year Strategic Plan for Higher Education: 2006-2026. A critical review shows that the objective of the plan is to connect education with market-driven economic forces. This article argues that such a neoliberal policy in the higher education sector will have far-reaching socio-economic consequences in Bangladesh. With a critical investigation of the SPHE, this article explores how the autonomy of public universities is threatened, and how the role of the state is redefined through withdrawing government grants in the higher education sector. By providing three case studies, this article exposes the marketising nature of higher education in contemporary Bangladesh. This article also argues that the resistance against neoliberalism in higher education is another aspect which is organised by different socio-political groups in the higher education institutions.

“…It can be argued that the system of schooling in Mississippi is reproducing inequalities based on race, class, and gender. Ross and Gibson (2007) suggested "education is an integral aspect of social (and individual) transformation (processes that are themselves inseparable)" (p. 8). Unless quality of schooling for Black students, and students from other traditionally marginalized groups in Mississippi, improves quickly and dramatically, many students will be unable to realize upward transformation.…”

Mississippi's performance on educational outcomes has consistently ranked among the lowest in the nation. As such, reform efforts have been continuous. However, the condition of Mississippi's public educational system cannot be fully understood without first considering historical factors, such as desegregation and integration, which have shaped contemporary reform efforts. The push for racial equality in Mississippi education faced strict opposition by Whites following the Brown (1954) court ruling. Over time, this resistance led to resegregated school systems in which whites fled to private schools and public schools became majority Black. Contemporary reform efforts favor white students while resisting progression towards equity. It is through the neo-conservative movement that neoliberal reforms, such as accountability in schools and performance based funding, emerge and extend their influence to public higher education. A discussion of these neoconservative and neoliberal influences is provided as well as a call for educational reforms grounded in social justice.
