The importance of public opinion in the determination of public
policy is the subject of considerable debate. Whether discussion
centres on local, state or national affairs, the influence of the
opinions of ordinary citizens is often assumed yet rarely
demonstrated. Other factors such as interest group lobbying, party
politics and developmental, or environmental, constraints have been
thought to have the greater influence over policy decisions.
Professors Erikson, Wright and McIver make the argument that state
policies are highly responsive to public opinion, and they show how
the institutions of state politics work to achieve this high level
of responsiveness. They analyse state policies from the 1930s to
the present, drawing from, and contributing to, major lines of
research on American politics. Their conclusions are applied to
central questions of democratic theory and affirm the robust
character of the state institution.
