A comprehensive view of how education policy is made in the US and, in some cases, globally, The Business of Education analyzes and critiques the influence of educational policy networks in a wide range contexts and from a variety of perspectives, including testing, college preparation, juvenile detention centers, special education, the arts, teacher evaluation systems, education of undocumented immigrants, college faculty preparation and financial aid. A network chart in each chapter links major political actors, including private philanthropic foundations, for-profit companies, government officials, and politicians. Joel Spring, internationally renowned scholar and analyst of educational policy, situates and frames the network studies in an introduction discussing general theories of education policy networks and a closing chapter on changing network control over educational policy.
