Drawing on the critical education policy studies literature, this paper interrogates the complex concepts of quality and autonomy, which are core in the global agenda. We do this by exploring how the international and national austerity measures, imposed in many countries – and especially in Greece, marked by a devastating economic crisis in the last decade – have affected their re-interpretation and translation.  \n1 This research was funded by the Special Account for Research Grants of the University of the Peloponnese (ΕΛΚΕ) under the program: “Doctoral Theses Scholarships – Pelopas”(KA0167) .  \nOur empirical data suggest that municipal ECEC directors, interviewed in the context of our research, hold diverse views on quality, raising issues of inequality, limited participation and low attainment. The study generates reflections , suggesting that the idea of autonomy has been systematically associated with Greece’s economic struggles and therefore understood and re-interpreted by the participants in a constrained way that limits their action. The way these notions are re-contextualized at the municipal level, and the consequences for ECEC provision, pose as key issues of this research.  \nKeywords: quality; autonomy; OECD; economic crisis; governance  \nPolíticas de calidad y autonomía en tiempos de crisis económica: El gobierno del sector de la educación y la atención de la primera infancia  \nResumen: Este estudio se centra en el debate en torno a las políticas y prácticas globales relacionadas con el sector de la Educación y Atención de la Primera Infancia (EAPI), utilizando como ejemplo el contexto político griego. Basándose en la literatura de estudios críticos de política educativa, este trabajo cuestiona los complejos conceptos de calidad yautonomía, que son fundamentales en la agenda global. Lo hacemos explorando cómo las medidas de austeridad internacionales y nacionales, impuestas en muchos países –yespecialmente en Grecia, marcada por una crisis económica devastadora en la últimadécada– han afectado a su reinterpretación y traducción. Nuestros datos empíricossugieren que los directores municipales de EAPI, entrevistados en el contexto de nuestra investigación, tienen opiniones diversas sobre la calidad, planteando cuestiones de desigualdad, participación limitada y bajo rendimiento. El estudio genera reflexiones quesugieren que la idea de autonomía ha sido sistemáticamente asociada a las luchaseconómicas de Grecia y, por tanto, ha sido entendida y reinterpretada por los participantes de una manera constreñida que limita su acción. La forma en que estas nociones se recontextualizan a nivel municipal, y las consecuencias para la provisión de EAPI, se plantean como cuestiones clave de esta investigación.  \nPalabras-clave: calidad; autonomía; OECD; crisis económica; gobernanza  \nPolíticas de qualidade e autonomia em tempos de crise económica: Governar o sector da educação e cuidados da primeira infância  \nResumo: Este estudo c","cbCailpkcx8UWJir","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCailpkcx8UWJir","pdf",419518,26,"English","# Abstract\n# Citation and funding note\n# Findings and implications\n# Keywords","[{\"question\":\"What does the study focus on regarding ECEC policies?\",\"answer\":\"It focuses on the debate about global policies and practices for Early Childhood Education and Care, using Greece as a case.
