FORMAT Paperback LANGUAGE English CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description This path-breaking addition to the Comparative Politics of Education series studies the influence of public opinion on the contemporary politics of education reform in Western Europe. The authors analyze new data from a survey of public opinion on education policy across eight countries, and they also provide detailed case studies of reform processes based on interviews with policy-makers and stakeholders. The books core finding is that public opinion has the greatest influence in a world of loud politics, when salience is high and attitudes are coherent. In contrast, when issues are salient but attitudes are conflicting, the signal of public opinion turns loud, but noisy and party politics have a stronger influence on policy-making. In the case of quiet politics, when issue salience is low, interest groups are dominant. This book is required reading for anyone seeking to make sense of policy-makers selective responsiveness to public demands and concerns. Author Biography Marius R.
