Opis

Anxious Politics argues that political anxiety affects the news we consume, who we trust, and what public policies we support.

Recenzje

'How do political communications that foster feelings of threat and insecurity influence citizens - how and what they learn, who they trust, and what policies they advocate? Anxious Politics offers a compelling set of answers to these important questions through experimental analyses that range widely across issues, context, and message form. Anyone with an interest in public opinion should read this book.' Laura Stoker, Charles and Louise Travers Department of Political Science, University of California, Berkeley
