The authors include the roles of social movement and state organization in a policy domain analyses of the Teacher Education Act of 1994. Data collection and analysis included a) identifying policy influence mechanisms among state bureaucrats, peripheral groups, and social movement organizations during different stages of policy formation; and b) using content and correspondence analyses to determine the influence structures that were in place during those stages. The construction stages were identified as a) recognizing issues associated with reforming the old act, b) enacting governmental modification procedures for the old act, and c) making final decisions in the Legislative Yuan. Political opportunities changed dramatically during each stage, as did power relations among state educational bureaucrats, social movement organizations interested in educational reform, and small numbers of additional actors. In the final stage, educational reform coalitions used leverage strategies to join forces with opposition party legislators to create and pass a new Teacher Education Act. The correspondence analyses profile the institutionalized characteristics in the formation of the Teacher Education Act-close association between the eclectic principle of influence structure and the institutionalization of policy change. |
