The Politics of Civic Education

Local Reactions to National Initiatives and State Mandates

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

State-level civic education policy reforms inspired by national initiatives were adopted in some places enthusiastically, in others warily, while in others ignored. National advocates successfully captured state agendas but stumbled when they hit the local level. When treated as policy, not panacea, civic education faces familiar challenges.
