For the most part, entries consist of books and monographs published from 1960 through 1979. Entries are classified according to subject matter into eight majcr sections and 47 subcategories. Listed in each subcategory are the complete citations to publications directly relevant to that topic as well as a listing by entry number of other related publications that have been classified in another subcategory. Entries also indicate whether the publication contains a bibliography, and an accession number is provided for those in the ERIC system. Moreover, any entry that is an edited collection of articles lists the individual author and usually the title of each article in the collection. The appendix lists and describes the major indexing sources of public documents. An author Index and a subject index complete the bibliography.

SENT OFFICIAL NATIONAL INSTITUTE OF EDUCATION POSITION ORPOLICY THE STUDY OF POLITICS AND EDUCATION: A BIBLIOGRAPHIC GUIDE TO THE RESEARCH LITERATURE compiled by Anne H. Hastings University of Virginia Published by ERIC Clearinghouse on Educational Management for The Politics of Education Association Donald H. Layton, Chairman April 1980 FOREWORD The Politics of Education Association, in association with the ERIC Clearinghouse on Educational Management, is pleased to make available Anne Hastings' The Study of Politics and Educa- tion: A Bibliographical Guide to the Research Literature. Soon after its establishment in 1969, the Association supported the preparation of such a bibliography, but the time was not then propitious to bring such an effort to fruition.This volume meets the increasingly urgent need for the compilation of a bibliographical reference guide in a burgeoning field of multi- disciplinary research. The benefits of this volume should be immediately obvious to all who peruse it. To the research specialist it provides a handy guide to the various subfields that constitute the politics of education.Whether those interests focus on elementary-secondary or higher education, on a specific issue area, on the politics of educational finance, or in some other sphere or concentration, this bibliography is likely to speak to the researcher's immediate needs. For the educational practitioner this volume is no less valuable. As a current source on politics of education research, the bibliography contains the best listing available of what we know about educational politics. While few of the included entries are prescriptive in nature, the listed studies do contain a wealth of insights and understandings of considerable utility to the educational activist. The Study of Politics and Education will be of special assistance to graduate students. It provides an immediate short-cut to often tedious bibliographic searches designed to acquaint oneself with a particular literature. Further, the bibliography provides a baseline by which one can assess the adequacy of other literature searches and surveys. This bibliographical guide demonstrates most effectively that politics of education writing and research have become a focal activity for many political scientists, sociologists, journalists, educators, and others. A decade ago this volume would have been less than half its present size. While many of the issues dominating educational politics in the past ten years have come and gone, scholarly research and published studies give no sign of diminishing.Earlier concerns about the possible faddishness of politics of education research have proved to be unwarranted. The Politics of Education Association is greatly indebted to Anne Hastings for accepting its offer to compile the first comprehensive bibliography on the politics of American education. The development of a bibliography of this size and scope has been no simple task, and Ms. Hastings can be proud of the results she has obtained. The Association is also appreciative t 3 4 of the support provided to Ms. Hastings by her mentors and colleagues at.the University of Virginia. Both Ms. Hastings and the Association will value your reactions to this project. Donald H. Layton Chair, 1978-1980 Politics of Education Association Albany, New York April 1980 ii 4 ACKNOWLEDGMENTS A number of people have given generously of their time and wisdom in the preparation of this bibliography. Donald H. Layton., chair of the Politics of Education Association, extended the initial invitation, provided much needed help and encourage- ment along the way, and carefully reviewed the final manuscript. Edith K. Mosher of the University of Virginia supervised the entire project and made substantial contributions to the organi- zation and structure of it and to the development of the sub- categories. Dr. William H. Seawell, chairman of the Department of Educational Administration and Supervision, School of Education, University of Virginia, contributed both personal and institutional support without ever so much as frowning when errors in my original estimates of the costs of the project became apparent. The departmental secretary, Ms. Debbie Williams, typed the entire manuscript with skill and, thank- fully, with humor, although I seriously doubt whether she will accept such an assignment again. I owe a special thanks to Sam Crowell, a graduate student at the University of Virginia, who sacrificed most of his Christmas vacation to help me with the tedious library work. Among other things, he developed the original list of publications in subcategory JJ. My mother, Georgie S. Hortenstine, spent her spare time helping with the author index. Several individuals, besides Don Layton, read the draft in whole or in part. They are: William L. Boyd of the University of Rochester, Edward R. Hines of the State University of New York at Albany, and Robert F. Lyke of the Congressional Research Service. While not all of their suggestions were incorporated, they all received serious consideration and were appreciated. There is no doubt that their contributions have increased the utility of the final product. Finally, I should like to add a special note of thanks to my husband Doug who donated more than a few Saturday afternoons vend to my son Corey who never cried when I left for the library, but who always greeted me with a smile and a hug when I returned. To all who made this bibliography possible, I am enormously grateful.None do I hold responsible for any errors in the final product. That responsibility I accept in full. Anne H. Hastings Charlottesville, Virginia April 1980 iii INTRODUCTION The Study of Politics and Education:A Biblio ra hic Guide to the Research Literature has been designed prar ly as a research tool for scholars and students of the politics of education. In 1t, I have sought to collect the literature most useful to the study of the politics of educationi.e., literature from the field itself, as well as selected related literature from political science, public policy, and educa- tion-- -and arrange it topically in a convenient, easy-to-use format. However, because many of the publications are not highly specialized, technical, or theoretical, but speak to critical contemporary educational issues, educational prac- titioners of every sort should also find this bibliography a handy reference guide. Finally, scholars and students in other fields of inquiry, such as the sociology or economics of education or educational administration, will find several sections directly relevant to their research concerns. My purpose in compiling the bibliography was not to pro- vide definitive coverage of the field itself; in some respects my purpose was narrower and in other respectsbroader than that. It was narrower in that I was not attempting to define, either explicitly or implicitly, the boundaries of the field of politics of education, a field which in its short twenty- year existence has branched off in multiple and diverse directions.As Paul Peterson has observed: The politics of education is a new field, but so far it has very little discipline to it.
