The Politics of Life in Schools
Micropolitics is a process as dynamic as people themselves, constantly changing according to the situation at hand. The study of micropolitics is thus one of the most exciting "new" developments in education in the second half of this century. Recognizing that micropolitics can be seen as the basis for all that takes place in schools, Joseph Blase has assembled a group of nine in-depth studies of micropolitics at the school-building level. Blase and his fellow scholars explore how teachers, administrators, and their students use political power to protect themselves and achieve results. The authors have studied micropolitics in a wide variety of settings in the United States, Canada, and Great Britain. Every concept and conclusion is carefully documented with supporting data from the authors' research. Equally important is the effort to offer guidance for future researchers by providing concepts, theories, and implications. Understanding how people interact with each other is a fundamental part of effective leadership. Blase and his peers furnish readers with new insight to the process.
