This Special Issue invites scholars to examine the role of formal and informal institutions in shaping the development, interpretation, and implementation of entrepreneurship education across different national, cultural, and educational contexts.
About the Special Issue
Over the past several decades, entrepreneurship education has expanded significantly across educational systems worldwide. Governments and international institutions have increasingly promoted entrepreneurial behaviour through education, yet comparatively limited research has examined the institutional structures, policies, cultural values, and actors responsible for shaping this development.
The Special Issue aims to provide a contextually sensitive understanding of how entrepreneurship became established as a subject within education and how this process differs across countries and institutional environments.
Contributions employing institutional analysis at national or international levels, including the EU context, as well as historical analyses of entrepreneurship education development across educational systems, are particularly encouraged.
The issue also welcomes research examining the agency of institutional actors—including policymakers, educational leaders, teachers, universities, intermediary organisations, and students—and how these actors translate, resist, adapt, or advance entrepreneurship education.
