Resum:	Education privatization and marketization are becoming increasingly complex and plural phenomena. Analysing the extent and ways these phenomena have expanded across countries has grown urgent and challenging. Not only are market arrangements making inroads into new territories, but they are also continuously transforming in settings where privatization or marketization have been established for decades. The growing plurality of forms and contexts of privatization and marketization is relevant because it reflects the variety of rationales, forces and goals involved. It is also significant because different policy configurations motivate different responses from educational stakeholders who are directly or indirectly impacted by them, thus affecting their ultimate outcomes. While academic and policy debates around education privatization and marketization have proliferated in recent decades, conceptual and analytical frameworks have not always kept pace with the ever more diverse nature of these phenomena. Scholarship often oscillates between broad categories that encompass a range of policy designs and particularistic approaches that focus on local specificities. Yet, there is something to be gained from charting a middle way between these tendencies. This approach would allow us to make sense of the increasing heterogeneity of these phenomena while avoiding sweeping generalizations. Indeed, the growing complexity and diversity of education privatization and marketization make it necessary to revisit conceptual, analytical and methodological frameworks underpinning this field of research. 1 In light of this, this introductory chapter presents and analyses some of the current research gaps and challenges the Handbook aims to address.
