Resumen

TORRES, Carlos Alberto. Expert knowledge, external support and educational reform in the neo-liberal age: focus on World Bank and the issue of moral responsibilities in the Third World educational reform. Rev. Lusófona de Educação [online]. 2005, n.5, pp.15-36. ISSN 1645-7250.

This article discusses the implications of expert knowledge in the educational reforms of the Third World Countries. It focuses on the orientations adopted by the World Bank, which the author analyses critically and mercilessly. Torres analyses the possibilities of building a new pattern of cooperation and technical assistance which wouldn’t be subject to the rules of ideological positivism and of the instrumental rationality, due to the fact that the hegemony in international organizations of intergovernmental nature still persists.
