Les paradoxes politiques du No Child Left Behind

2008

The paper deals with the “No Child Left Behind” legislation signed into law by President Bush in January 2002. Its paradoxical status lies in the national standards it creates in a field which is traditionally a part of States' powers. The paper highlights the peculiarities of the law and then moves on to a broader assessment of the Republican “neofederal” commitment. The conclusion emphasizes the Republican will to turn States into key policy-makers by placing them in a position to face up to their fiscal decisions.
