Description

Policy Actors, published by Routledge, shifts focus from elite decision-makers to the street-level practitioners who bring policies to life. This book challenges the traditional implementation paradigm that oversimplifies practice as mere resistance or failure, instead revealing the sophisticated, creative processes through which policies are interpreted, translated and enacted in real contexts. The chapters examine how practitioners navigate policy texts through complex processes of interpretation, translation, and sometimes strategic opposition or compliance. Essential reading for education scholars and teacher training professionals seeking to understand the demanding work involved in converting policy intentions into classroom practice and institutional change.
