The research in focus for this presentation is part of an on-going effort to contribute in investigating the operation and function of education policy processes through global policy networks. It-education policy making from a Swedish perspective has been taken as an example. The reason is that educational technology is a central part in contemporary global policy agenda and could be viewed upon as an example of the changing techniques of governance and political thinking of today. Networked governance is a complex and multi-faced process of privatisation that are taking place “… ‘of’, ‘in’ and ‘through’ public education and education policy making, ‘in’ and ‘through’ the work of educational business (where the marketization of IT-solutions to the educational sector play a central role) and the actions of the state” (Ball, 2008, p 83). Moreover, the analysis of this phenomenon is also part of an overall research aim to contribute in development of a critical perspective on educational technology.
