Abstract	[This book] is a comprehensive, insightful evaluation of the strengths and weaknesses of education policy research in the U.S. today. [The editors] examine key issues facing policymakers and researchers including race, education equity, teacher quality, early education, privatization, and the politics of education policy. Collectively, the chapters present a complex mosaic of education policy research that integrates the views of policy experts from education, economics, and related disciplines. Important topics discussed in this influential new text include: 1) Politics of education - Covers research on key political groups including teachers' unions, business roundtables, parent and/or religious advocates, as well as state and federal lawmakers; 2) Race - Discusses race as an issue as well as a non-issue and includes a discussion of the testing gap; 3) State policies - Provides an overview of state policies directed at improving teacher quality and discusses the reality of a teacher shortage; 4) National Trends - Analyzes current trends toward centralization and standardization and the growing influence of federal and state mandates.
