Political Pressures on Educational and Social Research draws upon a
variety of theoretical and methodological approaches to consider
the problems that can arise when research findings diverge from
political directions for policy. Chapters explore the impacts this
can have on the researchers, as well as the influence it has on the
research, including the methodology and the publication of results.
The book offers innovative ways of seeing how these connect,
overlap and interact, revealing particular issues of concern for
researchers and evaluators in the context of research
internationally. Key topics include the power and positioning of
research, evidence based policy development, ethics and the
importance of research that seeks to explore and discover
knowledge. The book is divided into two sections. The first
presents chapters from international academics, which provide a
theoretical underpinning and discussion of power, policy, ethics
and their influence on research resourcing, autonomy, purpose and
methodology. The second section explores specific case studies and
instances from the authors' own experiences in the field. This book
offers an interesting and enlightening insight into the sometimes
political nature of research and will appeal to researchers,
evaluators and postgraduate students in the fields of education and
the social sciences. It will be of particular interest to those
studying research methods.
