D. Brent Edwards Jr.; Mauro C. Moschetti; Alejandro Caravaca – International Journal of Qualitative Studies in Education (QSE), 2025
The central argument of this article is that post-colonial states operate--and have always operated, due to their roots in colonialism and capitalism--according to an "ethos of privatization," through which state agents derive private benefit from positions ostensibly responsible for providing public services.

Watkins, Paul J.; Moreno, Edward – Clearing House: A Journal of Educational Strategies, Issues and Ideas, 2017
Title IX guidelines governing equal access to collide with state legislation around gender identity and multiple use bathrooms and changing facilities.

Arenas, Alberto; Gunckel, Kristin L.; Smith, William L. – Phi Delta Kappan, 2016

Maroy, Christian; Pons, Xavier; Dupuy, Claire – Journal of Education Policy, 2017
The article argues that there is no single globalisation of education systems, but rather multiple globalisations of each system taken in its individual context. We propose three explanatory factors to account for these vernacular globalisation processes, that is, for individual policy trajectories in each national context: path dependence on…

Krejsler, John Benedicto – International Journal of Qualitative Studies in Education (QSE), 2018

Beadie, Nancy – Paedagogica Historica: International Journal of the History of Education, 2016
After the Civil War (1861-1865), the United States faced a problem of "reconstruction" similar to that confronted by other nations at the time and familiar to the US since at least the Mexican-American War (1846-1848). The problem was one of territorial and political (re)integration: how to take territories that had only recently been…

Before awarding waivers from core tenets of the No Child Left Behind Act to 11 states, the U.S. Department of Education ordered changes to address a significant weakness in most states' proposals: how they would hold schools accountable for groups of students deemed academically at risk, particularly those in special education or learning English.…

Popham, W. James – Educational Research, 2009
Against a shifting set of assessment preferences in the US regarding whether educational assessment should continue to be a states rights game or become a federally dominated undertaking, the publication of five first-rate analyses about England's national curriculum assessment (NCA) is particularly propitious. Taken together, these five papers…

O'Brien, David M. – Public Administration Review, 1989
Federalism is sometimes a metaphor for states' sovereignty, rather than appreciated as part of the political structure and process created by the Constitution of the United States. The author argues that "federalism" was redefined during the founding period to disassociate it from the discredited idea of states' sovereignty. (Author/JOW)
