Abstract

This paper explores the impact of evolving sustainability discourse and its integration into Global Citizenship Education (GCE) since 2015 on the formation of neoliberal subjectivity. While the post-2015 sustainability discourse and GCE model aim to systematize GCE approaches and empower individuals as change-makers, they consequently reinforce the neoliberal principles of self-governance and economic rationalization. Utilizing Michel Foucault’s theories on neoliberalism and neoliberal subject formation, this study examines how the post-2015 GCE model’s emphasis on standardization, measurement, and individual agency empowerment fosters self-convincing and self-regulating global citizen subjects to maintain that this process of neoliberal subjectivization cultivates an individuated, self-centered subjectivity that may undermine collective efforts to address global challenges.
