This book draws together a group of international policy analysts
and researchers to examine the Academies policy and implementation,
locating it within a contemporary political analytical framework.
This is the well-edited collection of papers by leading researchers
and participants within a major reform process of the state and
education system in particular. The shift from welfare based
provision of public services to the quasi-market with private
delivery and philanthropic investment is an issue that needs a
thorough examination through evidence and rigorous argument. This
book seeks to do this by not only charting events and providing
detailed examination about what is happening but also by locating
these developments within a contemporary political and social
analytical framework. The topics covered include: the legal and
political process of establishing Academies; the working and impact
of Academies using a range of data and perspectives; and the
debates and issues regarding this major reform, with comparative
perspectives. The book will show how the Academies Programme in
England is an important site for examining the growth of neoliberal
ideas and practices in the framing and delivery of public services
such as education.
