Publication Type: Conference Paper/Unpublished Manuscript Review Method: Peer Reviewed Abstract: In recent years, education has risen to the very top of the national political agenda and the federal role in schools has been dramatically transformed and expanded. This paper seeks to explain these developments in light of the country’s history of decentralized school governance and the longstanding opposition of liberals and conservatives to an active, reform-oriented federal role in education. More broadly, it demonstrates how the struggle to define the federal role in school reform played a central—though underappreciated—role in inter- and intra-party debates during the 1980s and 1990s over the appropriate role of the national government in promoting opportunity and social welfare. The increasing salience of education reform with the public led Clinton and the Democrats to make the issue a centerpiece of their New Democratic philosophy and their response to the conservative assault on federal government activism. George W. Bush and Republicans responded by making education the focal point of a more centrist rhetoric on social policy, compassionate conservatism. These political developments launched a new era of education policy in which the alliances, policies, and assumptions of the past forty years have been fundamentally transformed. Swing issues such as education are thus an important political phenomenon. Their unique characteristics facilitate major policy change even as they influence the direction of wider political debates and partisan conflict.
