This pioneering volume is devoted to the analysis of education
from the perspective of political science, applying the full range
of the discipline 's analytical perspectives and methodological
tools.
The contributions demonstrate how education policy can be
explored systematically from a variety of political science
perspectives: comparative politics, public policy analysis and
public administration, international relations, and political
theory. By applying a governance perspective on education policy,
the authors explore the changing institutional settings, new actors
constellations, horizontal modes of interaction and public-private
regulatory mechanisms with respect to the role of the state in this
policy field. The volume deals with questions that are not merely
concerned with the content or outcomes of education, but it
explicitly takes a political science view on how education politics
work. Including country case studies from the Americas and across
Europe, institutional analyses of education policy in the EU and
the WTO/GATS as well as normative reflections on the topic, the
volume provides a grand overview on the diversity of issues in
education policy. Dealing with a so far neglected field of policy,
this book provides a comprehensive and accessible analysis of a
rapidly changing topic.
Education in Political Science will be of interest to scholars
and students of political science, education, sociology and
economics.
