Entrepreneurship Education – New Content for the New Paradigm
Abstract
The dominant theme of modern economics and political discourses are small and medium enterprises and the promotion of entrepreneurship. Entrepreneurship serves as
an engine of economic development and considers it a way to reduce unemployment.
On the other hand, the withdrawal of the state from the largest part of the public services, where it previously had a larger role, such as adult education, led to new forms
of satisfying social needs and introduced a concept of social entrepreneurship. Between
stimulating a good business environment, affordable sources of financing, a general social climate that is benevolent to entrepreneurial ventures, entrepreneurship education
is an important pillar in the overall support to entrepreneurship development, and as
such has been embedded into educational policies. For Europe and Serbia, this nontraditional goal in adult education introduces novelties into educational policies and opens
new areas for research. Therefore, we conducted resea...rch with the goal of finding the
presence of entrepreneurship content in strategic policy papers issued by the competent
authorities in the European Union and the Republic of Serbia in the period from 2000
until 2019. Our assumption is that the presence of entrepreneurship content without acknowledging its social side is an indication of a change in state paradigm, showing the
abandonment of the state’s welfare discourse and the movement towards a neoliberal
conception. In the research, we applied document analysis with content and discourse
analysis. The results of the research indicate a growing presence of entrepreneurship education in education policies, without accompanying content of social entrepreneurship.
This indicates a gradual abandonment of the welfare state concept and a turn towards
neoliberal discourse, which is an indicator of the paradigm shift.
