Policy Sociology and Critical Social Research: A Personal Review of Recent Education Policy and Policy Research.

Ball, Stephen J.

British Educational Research Journal, v23 n3 p257-74 Jun 1997

Undertakes two exercises: (1) argues that the public sector has been transformed from a Keynsian Welfare State to a Schumpeterian Workfare State, and (2) examines educational researchers' conception of and engagement with social policy. Observes a tension in education policy research between commitments to pursue efficiency and social justice. (DSK)
