Abstract: This contribution focuses on long-term effects produced by new modes of educational governance. After the so-called PISA-shock radical educational reforms aiming at standardization, quality management via monitoring and state-related deregulation have been implemented in Germany. Against this background, a closer look at the United States is taken, where more intense experiences with similar modes of educational governance have been made. As a result, trends and mechanisms which became manifest and powerful throughout the different waves of reform are identified. In particular, the increasing orientation towards evidence-based and deregulatory policy has produced highly problematic effects. In light of these experiences, the high hopes put into new educational governance in Germany appear rather naive and delusory. In contrast, to avoid bad surprises it is necessary to gain a more realistic picture.
