Th is article analyses the neoliberal transformation of ECEC in fi ve selected countries (Germany, Slovakia, Indonesia, Nepal, and Kenya). Both the Global South and the Global North are represented. Th e countries were selected either because of the authors’ involvement in research in the respective country or because of their long-term personal experience of that particular system of ECEC. Th e knowledge the authors acquired enabled them to delve deeper into the question of the point at which ECEC systems encounter neoliberal education policy and to describe the diff erent ways in which the countries have adapted to the new policies. Th e article shows that neoliberal education policies require diff erent types of adaptation and that these may have very diff erent eff ects on the system of ECEC – from a change in concept to system convergence and practical resistance or total governance of the ECEC sector. Th e article contributes to a more granular understanding of the eff ect of the economising discourse on the ECEC sector.
