- Abstract
-
In this chapter, we use comparative analysis lenses to better understand the nature of civil society coalitions and their impact in the educational field. The arguments provide a synthesis of core issues that have emerged from the case studies presented in earlier chapters. In particular, this chapter looks at different aspects of education advocacy coalitions (EACs or coalitions): the coalition’s profile; the agenda of the coalitions; their strategies and actions; the impact dimensions of advocacy, the levels of internal cohesion of EACs; and the opportunity structures that are conducive to impact. Finally, we conclude with some core reflections on the outcomes of the research and some key suggestions for coalition building.
