Citizen Politics: Public Opinion And Political Parties In Advanced Industrial Democracies

As Russell Dalton has made vibrantly clear in earlier editions, people drive the democratic process: citizens, voters, protesters, campaign workers, community activists, party members, and political spectators. What the people think of political elites, whether they trust government, how they vote, and what they do or say about a whole host of political issues affect'greatly'the further development or erosion of democracy and democratic ideals. In his anticipated fourth edition, Dalton offers the only truly comparative study of political attitudes and behavior of the United States, Great Britain, France and Germany.Russell J. Dalton is the author of 'Citizen Politics: Public Opinion And Political Parties In Advanced Industrial Democracies', published 2005 under ISBN 9781568029993 and ISBN 1568029993.
