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 book's 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.
