Contested Politics of Educational Reform in India :Aligning Opportunities with Interests
By: Priyam, Manisha.
Publisher: New Delhi, India Oxford University Press 2015Description: xxii,309p.ISBN: 9780198098874.DDC classification: 379.54 Summary: This book analyses the role of politics in the process of social sector policy reforms in the context of developing countries. Considered significant in the real world, politics is missed out by the dominant approaches used to design or analyse the policy process. In the small body of literature available, politics is viewed in a negative way-an obstruction which leads to failure. However, if we focus also on cases of success, we find that it works in a far more nuanced and complex way. Specially, if changes are viewed 'downstream' as people experience them, the reform-politics relationship unravels as a deeply contested process.| Item type | Current location | Call number | Status | Date due | Barcode |
