Political disagreement is widespread within the communication
network of ordinary citizens; furthermore, political diversity
within these networks is entirely consistent with a theory of
democratic politics built on the importance of individual
interdependence. The persistence of political diversity and
disagreement does not imply that political interdependence is
absent among citizens or that political influence is lacking. The
book's analysis makes a number of contributions. The authors
demonstrate the ubiquitous nature of political disagreement. They
show that communication and influence within dyads is
autoregressive - that the consequences of dyadic interactions
depend on the distribution of opinions within larger networks of
communication. They argue that the autoregressive nature of
political influence serves to sustain disagreement within patterns
of social interaction, as it restores the broader political
relevance of social communication and influence. They eliminate the
deterministic implications that have typically been connected to
theories of democratic politics based on interdependent citizens.
