This book emphasises the central place that ethnographic work shouldhave in the formulation and evaluation of education policy. Ethnographic studies contribute to a greater understanding of theprocess formulation, evaluation and critique. First, careful studies of policy initiatives at the local level can show the extent to which change actually occurs in practice. Second, ethnographic studies can investigate the unintended consequences as well as those planned by the policy. Third, ethnography can investigate the effects of policies in such a way that contradictions within the original policy itself are illuminated. As well as studying the effects and impact of policy, ethnography can also be useful in the formulation of new policies. The various chapters gathered together here give many examples of the ways that ethnography can tracethe effects of particular policy developmentsand may be able to influence future policy debates. The contributors and case studies relate toseveral countries including the United States, Italy, England, France,Sweden and Switzerland, showing not only that ethnographic research ineducation is now widespread, but also increasing relevance to policy.
