De la concurrence locale au conflit indirect global : L’économie symbolique du baccalauréat international

• Peripheral to national education systems, international schools are either excluded from the debate on these systems or considered as exceptional. As an object of study they reveal the limits of this vision. This article questions the pervasive usage of the notions of ‘market’ and ‘competition’ in sociology of education, proposes a renewed approach based on classical authors, and argues that international education may be conceived as a ‘symbolic good’, irreducible to its monetary value.
