The Politics of Education Policy Borrowing.
Halpin, David; Troyna, Barry
Comparative Education, v31 n3 p303-10 Nov 1995
Cross-national educational policy "borrowing" seldom has much to do with successful implementation of particular policies in their countries of origin; rather, it has to do with legitimating other related policies. Discusses similarities and differences between the United States and Great Britain with regard to school choice policies and assumptions about the state's role in improving education. (Author/SV)
