Reviews
This is an excellent volume on the interactions among public attitudes, media behavior, and foreign policy. It is full of interesting insights and provocations from some of the best scholars and critics in the field, and it helps to illuminate the complex dynamics of post-Cold War media and opinion politics. -- Susan Herbst, Northwestern University
Each essay is a substantive treatment of its topic. Many of the eighteen essays are valuable individually. * Contemporary Sociology *
These essays . . . provide important insights and raise provocative questions that will prove essential as a foundation upon which other scholars will base their research. * American Political Science Review *
A good candidate for contemporary status as a basic text from which to ponder how the broad theoretic framework of concepts identified by Hennessy has evolved in the 35 plus years since Lyndon Baines Johnson was in the White House and Nikita Krushchev was in the Kremlin. The talent pool which produced this book runs wide and deep. One is hard put to cite a chapter that isn't worthwhile, either as a datamine or for the threoretic stimulation offered, and sometimes for both the quality and clarity of evidence and theory. * International Journal Of Public Opinion Research *
This excellent collection represents the state of the art in comparative studies of public opinion and foreign policy. -- Bruce Russett, Yale University
