title = "Why music education needs transformative politics",
abstract = "The chapters brought together in this book collectively seek to make the case that music education today needs transformative politics. Transformative politics is used to describe work done “in order to introduce politics and policies that may enhance people{\textquoteright}s chances of improving democracy as well as their capacity to make better use of it to foster their aims” (Stokke and T{\"o}rnquist, 2013, p. 6). Transformative politics requires systemwide change that is not simply adding cultural change to existing practices but rather is about new social organisation and institutional reconfiguration, experimentation, and reconstructed understandings and rationales. Putting forward this claim, including arguing why there is such a need in contemporary music education, is one of the main ambitions of this book.",
