ABSTRACT
This article suggests that, as a field of study, we have accumulated too many routinised ways to legitimate our academic identity; that it is time to step away from comfortable clichés about our past; and to notice that the future is, at least metaphorically, now and urgent. However, while it is easy to illustrate the banalities we use to define our academic identity, it is difficult to turn the metaphor of ‘the future is now’ into a coherent perspective for seeing ‘futures’ for comparative education. Thus the second part of the article sketches choices which stabilise such a discussion and help to avoid vague visions of grand projects. The Conclusion emphasises our classic flaw – failure to notice the political framing of many of our epistemic choices, agendas of attention and action, and institutional identities – before permitting itself to be a little bit excited about ‘the future’.

ABSTRACT Drawing on insights from philosophy and theology, we explore the relationship between religion, data and global education policy through an analysis of the career of Sir Michael Barber, widely regarded as an authority on the reform of public services and an influential policy entrepreneur. The analysis provides a novel perspective which illuminates how secularised salvation narratives and apocalyptic symbolism have become more prominent in his work as he rose to become a global actor. The story is entwined with the turn towards New Public Management (NPM) in education, the rise of international large-scale assessments (ILSAs), and the transition from speculative faith to salvation through the ‘science of delivery’. We follow Barber's role in formalising the faith as a secular political theology, and promoting it globally through Delivery Units and the management doctrine of Deliverology®. The analysis closes by reflecting on the practical implications of the movement, which is now woven into the institutional ideologies and reform strategies of major international organisations, agencies and corporations as part of a wider shift towards New Global Management (NGM) in global education governance.

ABSTRACT In comparative education, words like ‘culture’ and ‘foreign’ are used often early on to determine issues, but they soon become subjected to individual national contexts. The world is then professionally sliced into bits of ‘area expertise’. Wonderment at the multiple cultures of the world diminishes. In the post-war reconstruction period especially after 1950, theoretical work in comparative education did not retain the potentials of ‘multiculturality’ and ‘interculturality’ as crucial concerns. Thus, the strategic theme of this article is an analysis of what we lost and why and what is being overlooked in the dominant agenda of attention in comparative education such as majority-minority power relations in the politics of representation, transnational space for diasporas, competing worldviews, and epistemological hegemony. Overall, we need to assess what it is we are not-seeing. We also need to reflect on the ethics of comparative education, lest we become satisfied with being routinely relevant for practical policy and delivering ‘robust and relevant research’. We should ask, relevant for whom and relevant to what?; and what might a closer relationship between comparative education and intercultural education imply for some ‘futures’ of ‘comparative education’?
