Media Reviews
"Stephen Ball provides the intellectual resources for understanding how education policy is produced, what it seeks to do and what its effects are. Theoretically and empirically adroit, it is essential reading for all those needing to understand education policy and politics." Bob Lingard, Andrew Bell Professor of Education, The University of Edinburgh "The Education Debate is a tour de force not only for its authority and penetration but also...its accessibility." Roger Brown in Higher Education Review "His introduction to key concepts should be required reading both for those engaged in policy making processes and those seeking to influence change in education." Rob Berkeley, Runnymede Bulletin
