From the Ballot to the Blackboard provides the first comprehensive
account of the political economy of education spending across the
developed and developing world. The book demonstrates how political
forces like democracy and political partisanship and economic
factors like globalization deeply impact the choices made by
voters, parties, and leaders in financing education. The argument
is developed through three stories that track the historical
development of education: first, its original expansion from the
elite to the masses; second, the partisan politics of education in
industrialized states; and third, the politics of higher education.
The book uses a variety of complementary methods to demonstrate the
importance of redistributive political motivations in explaining
education policy, including formal modeling, statistical analysis
of survey data and both sub-national and cross-national data, and
historical case analyses of countries including the Philippines,
India, Malaysia, England, Sweden, and Germany.
