Can anyone recommend any papers on #assetisation especially in regards defence?

The state as an agency in the assetisation of knowledge: the case of the Finnish education export Anne Kovalainen and Seppo Poutanen ABSTRACT The assetisation of education explicates a major shift in how the state understands education. Education is not only an immaterial public good available to everybody but can be treated also as a promotable group of assets. This article discusses the case of a certain period in the Finnish education export. The analysis shows how the Finnish state with its governance tools is actively shaping and transforming education into asset, and through this process of assetisation becomes a certain kind of element in an education asset itself. In this process, the previous nature of education export ‘goods’ has been transformed to a modern rent-seeking ‘knowledge asset’, that can produce rent and excess value to both the state and businesses alike. When the state is involved in assetisation, the process is inherently politicised, and is exposed to potentially drastic polity changes.

In this study @annekovalainen.bsky.social & @poutanenseppo.bsky.social argue that the notion of #assetisation is crucial for understanding how states may function in shaping the epistemic foundation of education when transformed into sellable and rentable assets.

Assetisation as a means to solve public problems: the research excellence framework and competitive future-making by Daniel Neyland and Sveta Milyaeva ABSTRACT In this paper, we engage with the Research Excellence Framework (REF) – the UK government’s national policy tool for competitive allocation of scarce research funding. Success on the terms of the REF provides guaranteed income for UK Universities for a 6- or 7-year period – and as a result, we suggest that the REF operates as an asset-like structure. We utilise 3 examples to build a comparative analysis of ways in which the REF is becoming organised in asset-like ways, the mechanisms involved in monetising future REF income in the present and the consequences that follow from this activity. In making projections that bring future income into the present, we suggest much is at stake. We will use the paper to argue that as a result of these practices assetization is now becoming a key means of steering University governance.

In this article Neyland & Milyaeva illustrate the role #assetisation is playing in UK higher education in changing the forms of epistemic capitalism and in transforming the ways universities are governed through a redefinition of problems and solutions.

Learning, Media and Technology Mapping rentiership and assetisation in the digitalisation of education Edited by Janja Komljenovic, Kean Birch and Sam Sellar This special issue builds on emerging work on rentiership and assetisation in education to address the lack of analytical attention on these dynamics and to begin mapping a future research agenda for the field. To date, research in this field has introduced key concepts for understanding assetisation and has illuminated potential challenges for the digitalisation of higher education (Komljenovic 2021, 2022). Other areas of investigation include: how assetisation relates to other economic processes in education and how it remakes educational processes and subjects as com- modified entities (Grimaldi, Ball, and Peruzzo 2023); how automated interventions in education are calculated based on assetised resources (Hansen and Komljenovic 2023); the potential for, and challenges of, digital disruption in digital economies organised subject to assetised governance (Komljenovic et al. 2024a); the assetisation strategies of edupreneurs as they collaborate with edu- cation and research sectors (Ideland and Serder 2023); the futuring activities of EdTech investors (Komljenovic et al. 2023; Komljenovic, Sellar, and Birch 2024b; Williamson and Komljenovic 2023); and the translation of tuition fees into assets (Milyaeva and Neyland 2020)
