Introduction
摘要
Education has long been the terrain where wider social, political, and economic transformations become inscribed, negotiated, and contested. Schools and universities do not simply transmit knowledge; they produce and regulate subjectivities, demarcate what counts as legitimate expertise, and embody the ideological currents of their time. The current conjuncture is distinctive in the ways digital infrastructures and neoliberal governance converge to reshape both the meaning of knowledge and the conditions of learning. This is especially evident in Central and Eastern Europe (CEE), where the post-socialist transformation has fused the neoliberal logics of marketization with resurgent nationalisms and ideological control, embedding education in a contradictory field of modernization and retraditionalization.
