Haggerty, Megan Irene2012-07-312012-07-3120072007http://hdl.handle.net/10625/49933Civil society networks have emerged as potentially important actors in the education policy of Southern countries since the new millennium. This thesis explores the Tanzanian Education Network's (TEN/MET) ability to successfully impact education policies and policy structures in Tanzania. It documents key examples of the network's policy influence in education. Drawing on civil society network and social movement theorists, the thesis explores both intra-network and relational strategies TEN/MET used to affect change. Three stand out among them: the leveraging of a common voice, the iterative use of complementary and contentious relations in the domestic sphere, and the leveraging of international pressure to affect change domestically, also known as boomerang strategy.Text1 digital file (136 p. : ill.)application/pdfenEDUCATIONAL POLICYTANZANIAPOLITICAL MOVEMENTSPOLICY MAKINGCIVIL SOCIETYGOVERNANCESOCIAL NETWORKSThesis
