This book has a pedagogical goal in mind; it is not a scholarly
work so much as an applied text informed by scholarship and
research. The book's goal is to provide individuals who are
teaching courses in comparative and international education,
educational administration, educational policy, and politics of
education with a supplementary text that can be used to help their
students develop skills in policy analysis, evaluation and
development. As is explained in the book, the problem that we face
with respect to having students engage in "hands-on" study of
particular cases is that by focusing on real cases, students are
faced with either virtually unlimited data, or insufficient data
(or, indeed, paradoxically with both problems). In addition,
students come to such cases with all sorts of preconceptions that
can cloud judgment in a host of ways. By making use of fictitious
case studies, though, we can carefully limit the amount of data
with which students need to deal, and we can also minimize the
challenges presented by the "baggage" that students might bring
with them about particular real nations.
