| Abstract | "This work attempts a comparative description and analysis, focusing on the US, the UK and Australia on the topic of the Right, educational policy and schooling. It adopts as its underlying theme the burning fuse in tracing the topic back to Joseph de Maistre a Rightist who fled revolutionary France to seek safety in the company of Tsar Alexander I's Russian Empire. Here, he had much to say about school education, not for all, but rather the "deserving" social elite. During the past three or four decades in the US, the UK and Australia the Right has been remarkably successful in amassing political power. And in doing so, the right of politics in these countries has reshaped school educational policy and practice, a necessary step in securing the future of the Right as a political force. Moreover, even during the years the Right has been on the opposition benches in these countries, such has been the strength of their political force that governments of the Left have acquiesced to much of their school educational policy. A pioneering effort, this book asserts that to understand school educational policy in the third decade of the 21st century we need to comprehend the politics of the Right. This book will be of interest to researchers and post graduate students interested in Education Studies, Theory and Policy, and International and Comparative Education"-- Provided by publisher. |
