KALERVO N. GULSON, CHRISTOPHER LUBIENSKIABSTRACT. This paper responds to Michael Peters’ paper in this issue, specifically the articulation of the economic in the non-economic parts of contemporary life, and the explication of neoliberalism in governnmentality inspired work. We do this by focusing on the field of New Political Economy, and suggest that education policy analysis that focuses on cultural politics, mobility and the market, could be considered as part of the new political economy of education policy. pp. 70–79
