This is an important and timely collection in which recent research and interpretations are reported and debated. The papers provide a scholarly analysis of a range of significant issues, complexities and recurring themes. They provide theoretical, empirical and practical perspectives on what is involved in co-working and explore the ambiguities, contradictions and fragmentations in a new policy area that cuts across the remits previously held by a number of government departments. Overall, the papers provide a considered and wide-ranging critique of the key research and policy discourses that seek to influence the reformation of services and to remodel interprofessional and interagency working practices. In particular, the collection examines the ways in which the integration of services is operating in practice in the discrete policy contexts of the UK countries; the leadership and management of collaborative working and workforce remodelling; and whether, in addressing the hard questions of the form/s that future school services should take, there are any ‘global solutions’ from new research or from other places that might fruitfully be applied. In addressing these policy developments the collection has multiple readerships in mind and seeks to be both academic and policy relevant.

Les inégalités sociales à l'école sont un sujet récurrent de débats, un objet tout aussi récurrent de politiques éducatives, tout en étant néanmoins, dans notre pays, perçues avec un certain fatalisme. Ne dit-on pas volontiers que « tout se joue avant 6 ans », que l'école est bien impuissante face aux déterminismes familiaux, que la réussite scolaire est biaisée par des inégalités sociales désespérément persistantes ? Pour autant, les diplômes et leurs sanctions sociales (conséquentes) ne sont guère contestés et la méritocratie (ou « l'élitisme républicain ») constitue une idéologie respectée et consensuelle. Ce livre démonte minutieusement, sur la base de recherches contemporaines, les rouages des inégalités sociales face à l'école et en son sein. Ce faisant, il redresse des idées reçues et questionne un certain nombre de mythes. Il interpelle aussi les diverses théories sociologiques qui ont prétendu, dans les années 1970, donner une vision intégratrice des inégalités. Enfin, en dégageant les processus qui engendrent et reproduisent les inégalités sociales à l'école, il permet d'entrevoir des pistes pour briser le cercle de la reproduction de ces inégalités, en donnant sa place, rien que sa place mais toute sa place, à l'institution scolaire.
