Improving Academics in the Aftermath: A Case Study of New Orleans’ Experiment with Charter Schools
Erin Marie Agemy
Chapter 13 in The Political Economy of Hurricane Katrina and Community Rebound, 2010 from Edward Elgar Publishing
Abstract:
In 2005 Hurricane Katrina posed an unprecedented set of challenges to formal and informal systems of disaster response and recovery. Informed by the Virginia School of Political Economy, the contributors to this study critically examine the public policy environment that led to both successes and failures in the post-Katrina disaster response and long-term recovery. Building from this perspective, this book lends critical insight into the nature of the social coordination problems disasters present, the potential for public policy to play a positive role, and the inherent limitations policymakers face in overcoming the myriad challenges that are a product of catastrophic disaster.
