| Outline of Research at the Start |
The goal of my research is to make clear the advantages and consequences experienced by developing countries when engaging with the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD). As a global organization with significant technical capacity, there is the risk that the OECD is able to insert its vision for policy reform into domestic politics. This is particularly the case in the education sector. It is important to understand how the OECD engages with developing countries as well as the tradeoffs and risks that such countries confront when working with this organization.

| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The project for which I received funding has led to multiple kinds of research outcomes. Outcomes include: conference presentations, journal articles, books, book chapters in an edited volume, blog posts, and guest lectures, among other things. One short book was written about each case study. The third book is an edited volume of case studies from the region of focus in the project.

| Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements |
This project has revealed the ways that international organizations can influence education policymaking in poor countries. This is important because these organizations can have agendas, priorities, and worldviews that may not align with what poor countries want for themselves.
