In the foundational document of modern public-opinion research,
Philip E. Converse's "The Nature of Belief Systems in Mass Publics"
(1964) established the U.S. public's startling political ignorance.
This volume makes Converse's long out-of-print article available
again and brings together a variety of scholars, including Converse
himself, to reflect on Converse's findings after nearly half a
century of further research. Some chapters update findings on
public ignorance. Others outline relevant research agendas not only
in public-opinion and voter-behavior studies, but in American
political development, "state theory," and normative theory. Three
chapters grapple with whether voter ignorance is "rational."
Several chapters consider the implications of Converse's findings
for the democratic ideal of a well-informed public; others focus on
the political "elite," who are better informed but quite possibly
more dogmatic than members of the general public. Contributors
include Scott Althaus, Stephen Earl Bennett, Philip E. Converse,
Samuel DeCanio, James S. Fishkin, Jeffrey Friedman, Doris A.
Graber, Russell Hardin, Donald Kinder, Arthur Lupia, Samuel L.
Popkin, Ilya Somin, and Gregory W. Wawro. This book was originally
published as a special issue of Critical Review: A Journal of
Politics and Society.
