It argues that the OECD's engagement in education policy was driven by a network of technocrats aiming to produce the "right kind of people,” or engineering the West. Paradoxically, the failure of this quantitative planning project opened the doors for the OECD to get involved with more qualitative aspects of education planning. Catalyzed by the United States, and in particular the Ford Foundation, goal-oriented sciences were used by the OECD as governing means, allowing an organization that lacked binding policy instruments to professionalize its soft-law governance.
