Abstract
In the field of education, the global convergence on educational discourses that direct domestic reforms has been increasingly discussed in the last two decades from the perspective of different social sciences (particularly the political and educational sciences). One of the important fields of such discussions is Europeanisation research, which attempts to determine how governance structures and processes at the European Union (EU) level influence the development of national educational spaces (e.g. Dale & Robertson, 2012).
