The Study of Educational Politics, edited by Jay Scribner and Donald Layton, is intended to be of use as a guide for students, scholars, and researchers of the politics of education and of educational policy studies. The comprehensive work surveys major trends between 1969 and 1994, with chapters synthesizing political and policy developments at local, national, and state levels in the U.S., as well as in the international arena. The text contains in-depth examinations of the emerging micropolitics of the field of education as well as policy analysis and cultural and feminist studies. Bibliographies are provided at the end of each chapter.
