Political Science and Education Research: An Exploratory Look at Two Political Science Journals

Department of Political Science at Brown University, 36 Prospect Street, Providence, RI 02912; marion_orr{at}brown.edu. His research interests include urban politics, urban public policy, urban school politics, race and politics, and community organizing

A systematic and longitudinal analysis of all of the education-related articles published in two of political science's oldest journals reveals that political science has aided our knowledge of education by focusing on the distribution of power in the decision-making process, the organization and governance of public school systems, and the outcomes and effects of education policy decisions. Moreover, the present data suggest that only a tiny fraction of the major articles published in traditional political science journals have focused on education and that those political scientists conducting education research turn to multidisciplinary education journals as outlets for their scholarship.
