This book investigates the interrelationship between educational
reforms and pedagogical and technological innovations, as well as
the implications of this relationship for the quality of human
capital. By analyzing recent educational reforms in Russia and
the US, the authors shed new light on how these reforms may help
or hinder innovations, such as the introduction of computer
technologies into classrooms, new methods of teacher evaluation,
constructivist teaching methods, and governance in public
schools.

Taking labor economics as a useful lens for conceptualizing the
diffusion of innovation, in the first part of the book the
authors analyze book how certain power arrangements can block
educational innovations in schools. In the second part they
examine recent educational reforms in the US and Russia. The
final part presents a vision of the next generation of
educational reforms, which may enable innovation diffusion,
rather than hamper it.
