This book develops and tests a thermostatic model of public opinion
and policy, in which preferences for policy both drive and adjust
to changes in policy. The representation of opinion in policy is
central to democratic theory and everyday politics. So too is the
extent to which public preferences are informed and responsive to
changes in policy. The coexistence of both public responsiveness
and policy representation is thus a defining characteristic of
successful democratic governance, and the subject of this book. The
authors examine both responsiveness and representation across a
range of policy domains in the United States, the United Kingdom,
and Canada. The story that emerges is one in which representative
democratic government functions surprisingly well, though there are
important differences in the details. Variations in public
responsiveness and policy representation responsiveness are found
to reflect the salience of the different domains and governing
institutions specifically, presidentialism (versus parliamentarism)
and federalism (versus unitary government).
