Foreword I
What is distinctive about both this compelling book and a related (forthcoming)
OUP collection1 (also based on research conducted with the Effective States
and Inclusive Development Research Centre) is the insistence that the crisis
of schooling without learning is fundamentally a challenge of politics and
governance, and that the routes forward must involve changes in these
interrelated realms.
This emphasis on politics and governance resonates with wider debates
within international development and policy. Indeed, the analysis and find-
ings presented in this book operate at the cutting-edge of a broader discourse
on development in the twenty-first century, stretching far beyond the field of
education. By bringing high-level debates around the role of inter-elite bar-
gaining in shaping long-term development trajectories into direct contact
with pressing issues of service delivery, it starts to breach what Merilee Grindle
terms the ‘missing middle’ of the newly emerging governance agenda.
The book’s presentation of a method that enables us to identify and explore
how different kinds of reform unfold in different ways in different types of
contexts marks a considerable advance on the now-anodyne insistence that
‘context matters’. The rigorous comparison between two provinces within
South Africa illustrates the power of the method, and offers an approach
that can be borrowed for many other such studies. Importantly, this approach
uses comparisons between the Western Cape and other settings to reveal the
limitations of systems that rely too heavily on hierarchical accountability
mechanisms and bureaucratic procedures, as opposed to more flexible systems
for governing service provision.
Brian Levy, the lead editor and principal investigator behind the research on
which this book is based, has already contributed much to the project of
rethinking the politics of development and devising ‘best-fit’ governance
solutions for particular types of context, not least through his 2014 book
Working with the Grain. This new work builds directly on this wider project—

both by bringing it right down to the front line of service delivery, and also by
further proving the benefits of ‘thinking and working politically’ for all of
those concerned with understanding how injustices such as the learning crisis
occur and how they might be challenged.
