Abstract
The focus of this article concerns the supranational level, which, in the past few decades, has become increasingly important in the configuration of the field of education. The article examines the way education has been regarded and defined in the context of the European Union and the implications such processes have on the education systems of the member states. The dynamics of Europeification and the setting up of a global European reference for education policies currently possess an intensity, range and depth of intervention which are clearly distant from what was the case a mere decade ago. In this perspective, the European Union and other regional intergovernmental platforms, such as the Bologna Process, constitute settings for mediation that create, filter and convey the globalisation processes.
