Abstract	[The author] argues in his article that globalisation is redefining the role of the nation-state and the limits of its power in the field of educational politics. This has in many respects meant the diminishing of the sovereignty of national educational policies and the strengthening of pressures towards so-called neoliberal education politics. Supranational organisations like the WTO, the OECD and the EU have a strong impact on these changes. [The author] writes that it is an exaggeration that these changes are as inevitable as they have been claimed to be; there are also severe contradictions and many myths which lie behind these new global education policy doctrines. The question asked in this chapter is whether Finland (as a case in point of the Nordic countries) is one of the "Model Pupils" eagerly wanting to be at the forefront of new education policy with its rapid implementation of, for example, the European Educational Space, quality assurance policy, the Bologna process and GATS. The chapter clearly shows that this small country in the North-East of Europe has rather rapidly tried to launch new solutions in its education policy in many fields, and that the impact of the OECD and the EU on these changes has been quite wide and profound. However, Finland has also tried to keep its own solutions within its grasp. Most of all these supranational changes have been seen in Finland at the levels of higher education policy and governance, and the steering mechanism of its educational systems. (DIPF/Orig.).
