Offers a comprehensive introduction to the nature of contemporary education policy, its purposes and political formation which supports readers to engage in contemporary policy analysis. This title charts the continuity of policy development along neo-liberal lines, moving from New Labour to the emerging position of the Coalition government.

Discusses the theme of citizenship education, identity and nationhood, taking a slant which examines some of the contradictions between philosophy and practice, policy and pedagogy. This monograph provides a discourse that would be central to scholars of education, including advanced undergraduate students and research specialists.
