“…From the immediate post-war, Italy -a democratic country, grouped with the more advanced members of the OEEC, but divided into two, and suffering from seriously lagging behind other countries, and from problems of backward areas -had taken on a role as a ground-breaker within the organisation, that is, a laboratory for the Mediterranean (GRANATA, 2010;VENTRESCA, 2017;GRANATA 2021).…”

The new discipline of the economics of education promised solutions to the problems arising from backwardness and the advent of mass education. Recently, a new “transnational approach in the history of education” (Ferraz-Lorenzo, Machado- Trujillo, 2020; Martín García, González-Delgado 2020; 5) has emerged which emphasises the role of the international organisations in fostering the evolution of the education systems worldwide. The OEEC-OECD was crucial in spreading the new approach in education for development, and this commitment was also overdetermined by the Cold War and, therefore, inspired by the modernisation theory. In this scenario, this article recalls the role of the OEEC-OECD in affirming the new paradigm, specifically introducing the Italian case, the forerunner in the organisation for the policies regarding Southern Europe. This area was the initial target for the technical assistance activities, and also a laboratory for new development visions and practices.

“…In Europe, once the phase of reconstruction and the Marshall Plan had ended, increasingly obvious and growing differences began to emerge among the economies of the member countries, and in terms of social and cultural development (ALACEVICH, GRANATA, 2021;GRANATA, , 2021ALACEVICH, 2013ALACEVICH, , 2018LORENZINI, 2017).…”

Since the first “development decade,” the OECD has played a key role in coordinating aid from Western countries to the Global South. Before that first decade, however, wide gaps in development separated its own member countries. Within it, therefore, a Technical Cooperation Committee (TECO) operated to provide knowledge and expertise to “intermediate development” Mediterranean countries. TECO, through a network of experts, concentrated and disseminated data, ideas, and economic policy practices to promote the “modernization” of countries not fully integrated into the international economic system and ruled by dictatorial or otherwise undemocratic regimes. On the one hand, the program concretized intra-European solidarity to spread economic development and prosperity; on the other hand, it allowed a close look at the reality of those countries. Then, beginning in the 1970s, reflecting the change in the prevailing economic culture, TECO incubated the guiding lines for the global public administration reform. This study reconstructs the history of TECO through documentation preserved in the OECD archives in Paris.
