Institutionalizing Conflict Response: The Case of Schoolboards

Stelzer, Leigh

Social Science Quarterly, 55, 2, 380-393, Sep 74

The author examines how although school board governments lack formal mechanisms for channeling conflict, they compensate with an informal mechanism known as receptivity. Competitive elections are an institutional mechanism that support this receptivity. (DE)
