Recent reforms in the governance of schooling have affected roles, relationships and decision-making within schools and between them and the wider community. Using empirical and theoretical approaches this book describes, analyses and compares the effects of devolved management on secondary schools in a number of countries. It casts a critical light upon policy assumptions and aims, challenging assumptions about the way policy works in practice.Through a comparative international perspective, which looks at countries including the UK and the US, the conflicting options for school governance are addressed. These include:*parental participation and school management policy*professional, managerial and market principles in education*school-based decision-making and the implications of overarching government policies*devolution and centralisation.This is a timely study for practitioners in education, policy-makers in local and central government, academics and students of education policy and management.

Interparliamentary Relations and the Future of Devolution in the UK provides a political analysis of interparliamentary relations at a time when devolved legislatures are more evidently asserting their influence. Chapters provide the context necessary to understanding current complexities, considering the future of UK politics in response to critical circumstances such as Brexit and the Covid-19 pandemic. Margaret Arnott recognises how Tensions between competing narratives about the future working of devolution in the UK particularly over the future relationship of the devolved nations to the UK, were all too evident in contemporary political narratives.Written at a time of intensified political debates and the increasing questioning of models of democracy, Interparliamentary Relations and the Future of Devolution in the UK addresses a significant gap in academic literature to consider both the collective future of UK governance and that of the individual nations who form it.
