Educational Policy Borrowing: Historical Perspectives (Oxford Studies in Comparative Education)

This book builds on the Editors' previous work on the analysis of policy borrowing processes in education. A number of prominent researchers in comparative studies contribute articles describing and analysing policy borrowing in a number of historical contexts, with many of the examples testing aspects of the explanatory models developed by Phillips & Ochs. The countries covered include England, Spain, Germany, France, Austria, Japan and South Africa. CONTENTS: Kimberly Ochs & David Phillips.
