Hi.
"Their findings suggest that `external consistency' (shared and coherent perceptions between key stakeholders as to the goals and interventions appropriate for a programme) is the primary determinant of success for formal programmes; "http://mlq.sagepub.com/content/29/1/39.abstract
Is the underlined part a definition for 'external constituency'?
Thanks in advance!

May I rewrite it as:
""Their findings suggest that `external consistency' ,shared and coherent perceptions between key stakeholders as to the goals and interventions appropriate for a programme, is the primary determinant of success for formal programmes; "?
What about
"Their findings suggest that `external consistency' -shared and coherent
""Their findings suggest that `external consistency' ,shared and coherent perceptions between key stakeholders as to the goals and interventions appropriate for a programme, is the primary determinant of success for formal programmes; "?
What about
"Their findings suggest that `external consistency' -shared and coherent

It makes it clear what the clause is defining. A long clause like that can be confusing when enclosed by mere commas.
