The Politics of Education: Conflict and Consensus on Capitol Hill (Julian J. Rothbaum Distinguished Lecture #1)

Description

Volume 1 in the Julian J. Rothbaum Distinguished Lecture Series Drawing from his experiences as a long-term congressman, John Brademas focuses on policy formation to examine the politics of federal support for education. Brademas provides both analytic histories of representative education legislation and philosophical meditations on the relationship between education and democracy. "The academic community must prepare for a new and serious debate about public policy-and this text is an excellent primer for that debate."-Frank Newman, Journal of Higher Education.
