Abstract

As it becomes increasingly clear that the prescriptive 'standards agenda' has run out of steam, educationists who are most influential in government thinking claim that network forms of organisation, led by 'system leaders', offer a solution to the problem of 'school improvement' by facilitating knowledge and practice transfer. Are we witnessing the emergence of a new and complex multiple network landscape which is more participatory, more democratic, more 'dynamic', or one which is hierarchical and controlled by a technocratic managerial elite even more remote from the influence of representative democracy? © 2008 British Educational Leadership, Management & Administration Society.
