Abstract

This chapter defines the term transnational education and outlines the concept of educational sovereignty, because these ideas underpin the focus of this book. This chapter proposes an analytical framework, which is later used to explore the specific cases of the US-Indonesia and Indonesia-New Zealand relations.

Of considerable significance to transnational education and educational sovereignty is the complexity of the relationship and the role of social agencies. Educational sovereignty then refers to the need to determine the essence of the educational experience, and the ability of non-state actors to challenge capricious authority of power structure in determining individuals’ educational experience.
