Description
Using data from a comparative study of six state policy systems (Wisconsin, Illinois, California, Arizona, West Virginia, and Pennsylvania), this book explores alternative answers to the question of how educational policies are shaped by state-level political cultures in America. It describes how policy subcultures are embodied in state statutes, incorporated into alternative approaches to educational issues, and expressed in the processes used to formulate and enact specific policies. Questions about state education policy are transformed into cultural questions.
