Giving the "Hidden Hand" a Helping Hand?: The Rhetoric and Reality of Neoliberal Education Reform in England and New Zealand.
Gordon, Liz; Whitty, Geoff
Comparative Education, v33 n3 p453-67 Nov 1997
Examines neoliberal educational policies in England and New Zealand related to school autonomy, school choice, private sector involvement, privatization, and accountability mechanisms. Argues that the rhetoric of neoliberal schooling policies is far removed from their reality, as governments confront the classic tension between fiscal imperatives and the need for legitimation. Contains 46 references. (Author/SV)
