Public education is critically important to the human capital,
social well-being, and economic prosperity of nations. It is also
an intensely political realm of public policy that is heavily
shaped by power and special interests. Yet political scientists
rarely study education, and education researchers rarely study
politics. This volume attempts to change that by promoting the
development of a coherent, thriving field on the comparative
politics of education. As an opening wedge, the authors carry out
an 11-nation comparative study of the political role of teachers
unions, showing that as education systems everywhere became
institutionalized, teachers unions pursued their interests by
becoming well-organized, politically active, highly influential -
and during the modern era, the main opponents of neoliberal reform.
Across diverse nations, the commonalities are striking. The
challenge going forward is to expand on this study's scope, theory,
and evidence to bring education into the heart of comparative
politics.
