Policy Entrepreneurs and School Choice

Mintrom uses the emergence of school choice in state politics to examine how policy change originates. In the first comprehensive and systematic treatment of the concept of policy entrepreneurship, he draws important conclusions about how innovative individuals -- policy entrepreneurs -- can spur significant change in the policy arena. Blending original theory with both qualitative and quantitative investigation, Mintrom explains how energetic people made school choice a real choice. In doing so, he changes our broader understanding of how policy is formed.
