Abstract

KRAWCZYK, Nora. USA-Brazil: deleterious cooperation in education - from the neoliberal textbook to the religious fundamentalism. J. Pol. Educ-s [online]. 2020, vol.14, e77573.  Epub Dec 01, 2021. ISSN 1981-1969.  https://doi.org/10.5380/jpe.v14i0.77573.

The ideas we intend to develop here are the result of a research carried out in the USA (2015-2016) that aimed at studying the country’s influence in the contemporary Brazilian educational policies. Our basic assumption is that the policies that are set as global agenda are originated from a certain country and appropriated by the political elite and economical groups in different countries until they become a global agenda as part of the international dependence relations.

Researching the influences in the processes of national educational policies production and implementation allows us to find the genesis of such policies, their place of birth, their principles and transformations, as well as their results and consequences. Moreover, this allows us to have elements for a better understanding of what these "ideas" may produce in a rather different national or international historical reality. They may be presented as appraisals regarding the international circulation of ideas, the borrowing of policies, or as alliances with national sectors. We will see how, in the case of Brazil, these three forms of influence by the USA may be identified in the Brazilian education; and analyze the consequences of the corporate alliance and religious fundamentalism between Brazil and USA in the Brazilian basic education.

Keywords : Educational policy; educational regulation; Brazil-USA influence; corporations; religious fundamentalism.
