Javier Corrales is John E. Kirkpatrick 1951 Professor of Political Science at Amherst College, Amherst, Massachusetts. He holds a doctorate in Political Science from Harvard University. Although most of his published research has focused on market reforms and democracy in Venezuela, Argentina, and Cuba, and more recently, on the politics of sexuality in Latin America, he has long nurtured a parallel interest in the politics of education reform in developing countries. In 1999, he authored an invited and refereed paper for the World Bank, entitled , “The Politics of Education Reform Implementation: Bolstering the Supply and Demand; Overcoming Institutional Blocs.” This led to a number of academic articles, book chapters, and consultancies on the politics of education reform.
