Abstract	[This article is part of the chapter in the book which] looks at the issues of supranational-national relations in education from a comparative perspective with special focus on the education policy of the OECD. [The author] examines the characteristics of the interrelationship between the OECD and its member-states, operational procedures within the OECD, and the explicitness of OECD processes. The source material for [the] article consists of a vast corpus gathered from OECD libraries and archives as well as interviews with approximately fifty experts from the OECD Directorate for Education, the Finnish educational administration and universities in four different countries (Germany, Great Britain, the Netherlands, Sweden). One of her findings is that the expert interviews provided exceptional and unconventional information on the OECD, portraying the organization's operations differently from previous studies. Based on the interviews, the position of the OECD as a knowledge-based regime would largely seem to rest on the subjective activity of individuals, directed by a diverse range of external motives. In OECD-produced country studies, for example, these motives might include the motives and interests of the consultants chosen for the research group, as well as their background and language skills, or the target country, or in a broader sense, international economic, social and political trends. In light of the independence, quality and neutrality of OECD studies and the information produced by the organization, this would seem to be an issue worth further examination. (DIPF/Orig.).
