"Public education is critically important to the human capital, social well-being,
and economic prosperity of nations. It is also an intensely political realm of public
policy that is heavily shaped by power and special interests. Yet political scientists
rarely study education, and education researchers rarely study politics. This volume
attempts to change that by promoting the development of a coherent, thriving field
on the comparative politics of education. As an opening wedge, the authors carry out
an 11-nation comparative study of the political role of teachers unions, showing that
as education systems everywhere became institutionalized, teachers unions pursued
their interests by becoming well-organized, politically active, highly influential
- and during the modern era, the main opponents of neoliberal reform. Across diverse
nations, the commonalities are striking. The challenge going forward is to expand
on this study's scope, theory, and evidence to bring education into the heart of comparative
politics"
