This work attempts a comparative description and analysis, focusing
on the US, the UK, and Australia on the topic of the Right,
educational policy, and schooling. It adopts as its underlying
theme the burning fuse in tracing the topic back to Joseph de
Maistre a Rightist who fled revolutionary France to seek safety in
the company of Tsar Alexander I's Russian Empire. Here, he had much
to say about school education, not for all, but rather the
"deserving" social elite. During the past three or four decades in
the US, the UK, and Australia, the Right has been remarkably
successful in amassing political power. And in doing so, the right
of politics in these countries has reshaped school educational
policy and practice, a necessary step in securing the future of the
Right as a political force. Moreover, even during the years the
Right has been on the opposition benches in these countries, such
has been the strength of their political force that governments of
the Left have acquiesced to much of their school educational
policy. A pioneering effort, this book asserts that to understand
school educational policy in the third decade of the 21st century,
we need to comprehend the politics of the Right. This book will be
of interest to researchers and postgraduate students interested in
Education Studies, Theory and Policy, and International and
Comparative Education.
