Savage, and Bob Lingard.  \nAbstract: This contribution takes up and discusses topology as a relational approach to better understand and empirically trace policy mobilities in federal education systems. While topology echoes other relational approaches in its simultaneous focus on ongoing change and the“making” of stabilized forms (e.g., policy scales), it also brings attention to facets of policy mobility research that other approaches have, at least so far, considered to a much lesser extent.  \n1 This work was supported by the German Research Foundation [grant number HA 7367/3-1] for Sigrid Hartong.  \nSuch facets include the systematic integration of a temporal dimension (e.g. , rhythms of scale-or policy-making) as well as the consideration of digital/data space-times. Equally, topology reminds us that policy itself is increasingly becoming topological—that is to say, policy-making is increasingly ruled by movement spaces, logics of connectedness , and capacities for change, instead of formal authority, position, or transmission. Integrating these different dimensions into a heuristic framework, we illuminate what we see differently when applying a topological lens to policy mobility analysis in federal education systems, using the example of German education policies since the 2000s, particularly transformations induced by the ongoing pandemic , as a case study.

Si bien la topología se hace eco de otros enfoques relacionales en su enfoque simultáneo en el cambio continuo y la ‘creación ’ de formas estabilizadas (por ejemplo, ‘escalas’de políticas), también llama la atención sobre facetas de la investigación de movilidad de políticas que otros enfoques han, al menos hasta ahora, considerado en mucha menor medida. Tales facetas incluyen la integración sistemática de una dimensión temporal (p. ej. , ritmos deescala o formulación de políticas), así como la consideración de espacios-tiempos  \ndigitales/datos. Igualmente, la topología nos recuerda que la política en sí misma se está volviendo cada vez más topológica, es decir, la elaboración de políticas está regida cada vez máspor “espacios de movimiento”, lógicas de conexión y capacidades para el cambio, en lugar de autoridad formal, posición o transmisión. Al integrar estas diferentes dimensiones en un marco heurístico, iluminamos lo que vemos de manera diferente cuando aplicamos una lente topológica al análisis de movilidad de políticas en los sistemas educativos federales, usando el ejemplo delas políticas educativas alemanas desde la década de 2000, particularmente las trans","cbCainBZGOTH3f2e","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCainBZGOTH3f2e","pdf",448445,21,"English","# Special Issue\n## Global Policy Mobilities in Federal Education Systems\n## Analyzing (and Comparing) Policy Mobilities in Federal Education Systems: Potentials of a Topological Lens","[{\"question\":\"What approach does the article propose for studying policy mobilities?\",\"answer\":\"It proposes topology as a relational approach to better understand and empirically trace policy mobilities in federal education systems.\"},{\"question\":\"What additional research dimensions does topology bring to policy mobility research?\",\"answer\":\"It adds a systematic temporal dimension and attention to digital/data space-times, alongside the focus on ongoing change and stabilized policy forms.\"},{\"question\":\"How is the proposed topological lens applied in the paper?\",\"answer\":\"The paper integrates these dimensions into a heuristic framework and illustrates what changes in analysis when using a topological lens on German education policies since the 2000s, particularly pandemic-driven transformations.\"}]","Global Policy Mobilities in Federal Education Systems - Special Issue - Analysis and Comparison of Policy Mobilities in Federal Education Systems - Potentials of a Topological Lens | PDF",1792094202,53]
