Summary

Studies of regulation usually describe its intent and its effects but treat a piece of legislation simply as an instrument without looking at the complex web of rules which already exist in school systems and how the new rules will fit into these. This book provides a new perspective on the way in which regulation can enable or obstruct school reform.
