They particularly reflect on the relationships of the different people and organisations involved  policy-makers such as politicians, civil servants, and unions  and explain how these interact with the wider world. Building on the experiences of the authors on different sides of the process, the book explores the reasons why education policies fail the very sector they are intended to serve. By considering aspects of policy-making in different countries, the authors highlight more effective ways of building relationships between decision-makers and those affected by educational policy. This book explores, as an alternative, long term, systems-led, and relational policy-\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e“Cooperative, iterative, and long-term: that’s what the authors of this fascinating book would like to see much more of in the world of education policymaking, and so say all of us!
