Summary

The introductory chapter provides a short overview of the main arguments of the book. In particular, we define the salience of an issue and the coherence of popular attitudes on that issue as conditioning factors that influence the role of public opinion in the politics of education reform. The introduction clarifies how our argument connects to the literature in comparative public policy work on education as well as scholarship on the influence of public opinion on policy-making. It closes with a short overview of the various chapters.
