Bureaucratic Influence in the Formation of State School Policy.

Mazzoni, Tim L.

Planning and Changing, v16 n2 p67-81 Sum 1985

An analysis of structured interviews conducted in 1973, 1979, and 1984 with state legislators and school lobbyists and 14 case studies that investigated issues in Minnesota state school policymaking reveal that influence relationships do not correspond to the bureaucratic model. Political leaders influence policymaking far more than do bureaucratic experts. (MLF)
