Book excerpt: The Institute of Education has been closely involved with post-apartheid developments in education policy in South Africa. The book examines the current policy dilemmas in South Africa. It also provides a sophisticated exploration of the tensions that can occur between and among policy makers and policy researchers as a local vision is translated into reality in a global context. At the same time, the book provides clear evidence of the value as well as the difficulty of continuing dialogue between these groups, which might usefully be heeded in those countries where such interaction too rarely takes place.
