Abstract

This paper examines the relationships between the State and curriculum policy in educational research, by questioning the idea that the State centralizes the production of curriculum policy. In contraposition to this idea, it is argued the role of the epistemic communities in circulating the discourses which produce curriculum policies. In this process, the common culture and the performativity discourses are particularly discussed as producers of curriculum policy.
