Summary: In this paper we draw on the theoretical perspective of new institutionalism, particularly on that of world culture and world polity, and discuss the influence of policies of three selected international intergovernmental organisations (IIOs) concerning the recognition of prior learning (RPL) on adult learning and education (ALE) policies, of which RPL is a part, in one developing country from the global South (India) and one developed country from the global North (Germany). Based on a comparative analysis of two country cases, we show that there is evidence of a worldwide convergence of ALE policies as IIOs play a crucial role in the formation and dissemination of European and/or global RPL policies that are based on similar standards. However, it is also evident that this does not indicate a wholesale implementation and adoption of policies, especially in local environments.

Con base en el análisis comparativo de casos de dos países, mostramos que existe evidencia de una convergencia mundial de políticas AEA, mientras que las OII tienen un papel fundamental en la formación y difusión de políticas RAE europeas y/o globales que se basan en estándares similares. Sin embargo, también es evidente que esto no indica una implementación y adopción masiva de las políticas, particularmente en entornos locales.Neste artigo, inspiramo-nos na perspetiva teórica do novo institucionalismo, particularmente na da cultura mundial e da constituição política mundial, discutindo a influência das políticas de três organizações internacionais governamentais (OI) escolhidas relativamente ao reconhecimento de aprendizagens experienciais (RAE) nas políticas de aprendizagem e educação de adultos (AEA), das quais o RAE faz parte, num país em desenvolvimento do hemisfério sul (Índia) e num país desenvolvido do hemisfério norte (Alemanha). Com base na análise comparativa dos casos de dois países, mostramos que existem provas de uma convergência mundial das políticas de AEA enquanto as OI têm um papel fundamental na formação e divulgação de políticas de RAE europeias e/ou globais que se baseiam-se em standards semelhantes. No entanto, também é evidente que isto não indica uma implementação e adoção generalizada de políticas, principalmente em contextos locais.Instituto de Educação da Universidade de Lisboa (Lisboa, Portugal)2022-06-30info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersioninfo:eu-repo/semantics/articlehttps://doi.org/10.25749/sis.25505eng2182-96402182-8474Mikulec, BorutSingh, ShaliniSchiller, JanBalappagari, DevarajTirmize, Syed Tauseef Ahmadinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessreponame:Repositórios Científicos de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (RCAAP)instname:FCCN, serviços digitais da FCT – Fundação para a Ciência e a Tecnologiainstacron:RCAAP2024-03-29T08:17:23Zoai:ojs.revistas.rcaap.pt:article/25505Portal AgregadorONGhttps://www.rcaap.pt/oai/openaireinfo@rcaap.ptopendoar:https://opendoar.ac.uk/repository/71602025-05-28T10:19:19.182915Repositórios Científicos de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (RCAAP) - FCCN, serviços digitais da FCT – Fundação para a Ciência e a Tecnologiafalse
