Rezensionen

'A unique blend of education policy analysis concepts with the underlying political structure and actors that influence the outcomes of policies. The broad scope and specific insights of the book makes it essential for both students, educators, and scholars.'

-Michael Kirst, president California State Board of Education, Professor Emeritus , Stanford University



'Educational Change and the Political Process' brings together issues foundational to educational policy with recent debates over such issues as education governance, funding and accountability in a well-written, accessible textbook. It clearly explains how education policy problems, opportunities, actors and instruments differ by location in the education policy system, raise different challenges of implementation and evaluation, and play out in terms of major touchpoints for policy and practice. A useful addition: each chapter concludes with questions and activities designed to engage students in concrete discussions of the chapter's policy tradeoffs and perspectives. I know of no other textbook that affords this all-inclusive, system-wide treatment of education policy making-and in-depth reference list. Mitra's textbook provides an invaluable resource for instructors and students of education policy, and will be relevant for years to come.'

-Milbrey McLuaghlin, David Jacks Professor Emeritus of Education and Public Policy, Stanford University
