Description
This comprehensive analysis explores education from a political science perspective, applying various analytical perspectives and methodological tools to understand education policy. The contributors examine how education policy can be systematically explored from different angles, including comparative politics, public policy analysis, international relations, and political theory.
The book delves into the changing institutional settings, new actors' constellations, horizontal modes of interaction, and public-private regulatory mechanisms in education policy, taking a governance perspective. It covers country case studies from the Americas and Europe, as well as institutional analyses of education policy in the EU and WTO/GATS, providing a broad overview of issues in education policy.
This pioneering volume offers a comprehensive and accessible analysis of a rapidly changing topic, making it an interesting read for scholars and students of political science, education, sociology, and economics.
