In aid-recipient countries, donors use financial and non-financial means to influence national policy decisions and directions. This paper is about the non-financial influence of the World Bank (WB) in the Ethiopian higher education policy reformo Using Pierre Bourdieu' s concept of symbolic power as a 'thinking tool', the paper aims to shed light on forms of symbolic capital that the Bank uses to generate a 'misrecognisable' form of power to regulate the HE policy process in Ethiopia. The findings show that the WB transforms its symbolic capital of recognition and legitimacy to establish a 'shared misrecognition' and thereby to make its policy prescriptions less coercive and acceptable to local policy agents. The Bank uses knowledge-based regulatory instruments to induce compliance to its neoliberal policy prescriptions. The paper therefore underscores the value of symbol power as an analytical framework to understand elusive but critical roles donors play in policy processes in aid recipient countries. 2013 artículo científico 2014-3575 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=317127653003 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=3171 Revista Internacional de Sociología de la Educación application/pdf Hipatia Press Revista Internacional de Sociología de la Educación (España) Num.2 Vol.2 |
