This book analyses the salience of foreign and security policy
issues to domestic actors, its role in the analysis of
international politics and its consequences for foreign policy
decision-making. It provides a comprehensive and systematic
overview of issue salience and develops the state of the art.
Beginning with a chapter on the concept of issue salience and its
role in analysing international politics, it has a strong
comparative framework and focuses on different domestic actors: the
general public; political parties/parliaments; and the media. It
features empirical studies drawn from countries in Western Europe
and North America and addresses the salience of different issue
areas in three key areas of international politics: European
Integration Foreign and Security Policy Transatlantic Relations
Finally the book offers critical appraisals of the theoretical
underpinnings of the concept of issue salience and the methods for
measuring it. This volume makes an important contribution to
scholarly debates on the role of public opinion in foreign affairs
and on the prospects of parliamentary control of foreign and
security policy. It will be of interest to students and scholars of
political science, international relations and foreign policy. Kai
