This collection draws together contributions from leading researchers
and participants to explore a major reform process of the state and
education system in particular. The shift from welfare-based provision
of public services to the quasi-market with private delivery and
philanthropic investment is an issue that needs a thorough examination
through evidence and rigorous argument. This book seeks to do this by
not only charting events and providing detailed examination about what
is happening but also by locating these developments within a
contemporary political and social analytical framework. Topics covered
include: * the legal and political process of establishing Academies *
the working and impact of Academies using a range of data and
perspectives * the debates and issues regarding this major reform,
with comparative perspectives. The State and Education Policy shows
how the Academies Programme in England is an important site for
examining the growth of neoliberal ideas and practices in the framing
and delivery of public services such as education.
