Summary

DescriptionOverton Window diagram.svg	English: Diagram of the "Overton Window", based on a concept promoted by Joseph P. Overton (1960–2003), former director of the Mackinac Center for Public Policy. The term "Overton Window" was coined by colleagues of Joe Overton after his death. In the political theory of the Overton Window, new ideas fall into a range of acceptability to the public, at the edges of which an elected official risks being voted out of office.. This W3C-unspecified vector image was created with Inkscape .
