  • - Americans' Beliefs About How Government Should Work
    af John R. Hibbing & Elizabeth Theiss-Morse
    334,95 - 915,95 kr.

    Americans often complain about the operation of their government, but scholars have never developed a complete picture of people's preferred type of government. In this provocative and timely book, Hibbing and Theiss-Morse, employing an original national survey and focus groups, report the governmental procedures Americans desire. Contrary to the prevailing view that people want greater involvement in politics, most citizens do not care about most policies and therefore are content to turn over decision-making authority to someone else. People's wish for the political system is that decision makers be empathetic and, especially, non-self-interested, not that they be responsive and accountable to the people's largely nonexistent policy preferences or, even worse, that the people be obligated to participate directly in decision making. Hibbing and Theiss-Morse conclude by cautioning communitarians, direct democrats, social capitalists, deliberation theorists, and all those who think that greater citizen involvement is the solution to society's problems.

  • - Public Attitudes toward American Political Institutions
    af John R. Hibbing & Elizabeth A. Theiss-Morse
    407,95 - 962,95 kr.

    This timely book describes and explains the American people's alleged hatred of the US Congress and political institutions, in general. Focus group sessions and a national survey indicate that much of the negativity is generated by popular perceptions of the processes of governing visible in Congress.
