Abstract:
|
Initiatives that require local implementation have become an increasingly important tool of policy reform however little empirical research has systematically examined what influences the level of adoption of these initiatives. Focusing on an initiative in education, this paper examines the compliance with California's Proposition 227 that aimed to dismantle bilingual programs for English learners in the state's public schools. The analysis confirms earlier research that the preferences of the agents of implementation are key to explain compliance, but other previously untested factors emerge as equally important. In particular, local voter politics, demographics, and institutional incentives can also shape the level of implementation of an initiative. One of the principal implications of this research is that full compliance with an initiative may be difficult to achieve. |
