Partnership, Pluralism, and Education Policy: A Reassessment.

Gewirtz, Sharon; Ozga, Jenny

Journal of Education Policy, v5 n1 p37-48 Jan-Mar 1990

Draws on an ongoing project on "Elites in Policy-making," aimed at critically examining the postwar "partnership" between LEAs, teachers, and the Ministry of Education. Challenges pluralism as the dominant theoretical approach to the study of education policymaking in the United Kingdom and argues for a more state-centered, historically grounded approach. Includes 40 references. (MLH)
