Über diesen Titel

Críticas:

"... thoughtfully written volume ... [The authors] have marshaled an impressive mass of data to prove their hypothesis that at the state level 'public opinion is of major importance for the determination of state policy' ... This is a solid analysis of public opinion and public policies in the state. An excellent piece of research."
Choice

"... a work that anyone interested in differences across the states should read carefully ... this book makes some very significant contributions to our study of state politics. The authors are to be commended for undertaking this project, for the range of data they have assembled, and for contributing to our understanding of state differences ... this is one of the better written books to appear lately. The writing is clear, concise and communicates very well. Graphs are used well. It is a model of clarity of presentation and writing."
