Summary
The book is the outcome of a seminar which took place at the University of Oregon in August 1963, and which involved representatives from the fields of political science, sociology, and educational administration. Among the articles are one averring that educational systems have important unique aspects and one proposing that the over-all community power structure is of little consequence for educational decision-making, along with calls for analysis of the local government. The final chapter is a multi-faceted discussion of the place of action research in a changing social system and makes a plea for joint interdisciplinary research by educators and social scientists.
