Abstract:
|
Due to the advocacy and organizing of business elites, governors, and conservative intellectuals, education reform emerged on state-level policy agendas beginning in the late 1970s. Although the movement had strong national backing, the opportunities for major changes in the organization of educational governance were strongly shaped by state-level characteristics, most notably, by state racial demographics. Indeed, as this study demonstrates, states with more diverse populations were at significantly greater risk of adopting a greater proportion of the reform policies examined here. The analysis suggests that race played a much larger role in shaping the actual implementation of reform than was previously realized, and that other oft-cited explanations – such as economic conditions, human capital endowments, and public demand – actually played a very small role in this development. |
