Dynamic Democracy book cover
Dynamic Democracy
Public Opinion, Elections, and Policymaking in the American States (Chicago Studies in American Politics)
Devin Caughey, Christopher Warshaw - 2022-11-23
Explore a bold new perspective on American democracy with this groundbreaking book. Devin Caughey and Christopher Warshaw challenge the common perception that ordinary citizens have little influence over their government. Through extensive research and evidence from over eight decades of state-level policymaking, the authors show that democracy in the United States can be more responsive to citizens' demands than skeptics believe. The book uses an empirical and theoretical approach to assess democracy as a dynamic process, revealing trends in mass partisanship, ideology, and voter accountability. Gain unparalleled insight into the evolution of state-level democracy and the mechanisms that drive policy change.

Steven Casey's THE CAUTIOUS CRUSADE is a really good book about public opinion polling in the Department of Defense (and other Gov agencies) before and during WWII. It shows how FDR had to use propaganda to guide the public toward war, but that it favored preparations early on.      fuente
