“…Overall, the framework presented suggests that power can be both an enabling and restrictive force, exists in the form of both structure and agency, and is not static but is negotiated through ongoing dynamic relationships between various SDP actors. This approach takes inspiration from Go (2013), Estrada (2017) and Rosa (2015) who sought to develop multi-theoretical dialogues to prioritise localised understandings of networks and relationships. Estrada (2017) has argued for a more flexible holistic understanding of power rather than purely focusing on one theory, which in her view can limit the researcher to a narrow understanding.…”

The purpose of this article is to introduce a holistic framework of power that can serve to examine constraining and enabling manifestations of power within international Sport for Development and Peace (SDP) partnerships. The article is grounded in the recognition that the international SDP sector is wrapped up in ‘post-colonial residue’ and brings to the fore issues and power and inequality based on the construction and maintenance of hegemonic power relations. The article calls for SDP scholars to challenge the nature of partnerships and practices within the sector between international partners from the global north and global south. To develop and advance the case for this novel theoretical framework for studying power in SDP, the article is organized into three parts. The first part highlights the critical literature from the SDP and international development sectors concerning the nature of power relations with a specific focus on critical debates concerning social hierarchies. The second part offers a theoretical proposition and a three-phase theoretical model drawing on the work of Giulianotti, Lukes and Coleman to argue that power within international SDP partnerships is not static but needs to be recognized as a complex interplay of actions and outcomes. Finally, the article highlights how and why the holistic theoretical framework may be useful for SDP scholars in analysing and challenging power relations in future empirical-based research.

“…Postcolonial applications of ANT are fruitful but few. These efforts include infusing sociology with sociologies of the South (Rosa, 2016), adding feminist standpoint theory to postcolonial analysis of science and technology (Harding, 2009) and revising approaches to studies of globalisation (Anderson, 2009). This paper continues in that tradition by adding a postcolonial interpretation of the CIE field as an actor-actant network.…”

Comparative and international education research in a post‐truth era

The paper offers a postcolonial critique of comparative and international education (CIE) research in the United States (US) by tracing the Euro‐centrism of its agendas, methodologies and publications to their colonial entanglements in the past and examining the current predicament of CIE in the context of the rising nationalist and anti‐science discourses in the US. Viewed through the prism of actor‐network theory, CIE represents a circulatory network of scholars and students, methods and surveys, national and supranational funding agencies and the public opinion that shapes education policymaking. As they seek to garner public support, create new allies among politicians and donors and infuse their network with international knowledge and scholars, CIE researchers revisit the ontological and epistemological assumptions of their field, address the dominance of Western perspectives in CIE in the context of the White House rhetoric of hostility toward non‐Western nations and justify the veracity of their science to policymakers.
