Education Law and Policy in an Urban Society : Yearbook of the European Association for Education Law and Policy

The Annual Congress of the European Education Law and Policy Association (ELA) in Rotterdam in December 1997 was dominated by the question of urban education policy and its legal form as the touchstone of the modern interpretation of individual and social rights. This collection of essays and country reports asks what challenges for education do urban associations represent? Although, on this occasion, the option was for an education policy subject, a multi-disciplinary approach is always to be preferred. Policy-makers interrogate lawyers; lawyers question scientists from other fields of study and lines of practice.
