Viv Ellis, Lauren Gatti and Warwick Mansell present a unique and international analysis of teacher education policy.
Adopting a political economy perspective, this distinctive text provides a comparative analysis of three contrasting welfare state models – the US, England and Norway – following the 2008 Global Financial Crisis (GFC). Arguing that a new political economy of teacher education began to emerge in the decade following the GFC, the authors explore key concepts in education privatisation and examine the increasingly important role of shadow state enterprises in some jurisdictions.
This topical text demonstrates the potential of a political economy approach when analysing education policies regarding pre-service teacher education and continuing professional development.
“The New Political Economy of Teacher Education is a significant contribution. It should be read by everyone who is deeply concerned about the present and future of teacher education." Michael W. Apple, University of Wisconsin–Madison
"This short, highly readable volume packs a huge punch. Ellis, Gatti and Mansell provide a masterful, well-sourced review of perceived problems in teacher education through the principles of political economy." Christopher Lubienski, Indiana University
