Who Controls Education?

'Through rigorous research across England, France, Germany and Sweden, Wiborg reveals how teachers' unions and education interest groups have become masterful political actors in Europe. This groundbreaking study shows how these organisations shape education policy at every level, from local schools to EU institutions, transforming our understanding of modern education governance.' Daniel DiSalvo, Professor of Political Science, City College of New York–CUNY 'Susanne Wiborg's analyses provide a fantastic basis for deepening our understanding of the role and strategies of interest groups in the field of education. The analyses support the development of theories on vested interests and provide a basis for all researchers and students with an interest in education policy issues.' Rita Nikolai, Professor for Comparative Education, University of Augsburg, Germany
