Description: "In the Western world, education policy has increasingly become a local matter. Localities and schools construct their own systems, develop their own particular profiles, and adjust the content of education to meet specific local needs. This edited volume examines and compares the way in which local education systems in both Britain and Sweden are created in the interplay between common tendencies of change and particular local conditions."--Jacket.
