monumental ... an important event in the development of transnational social science (American Political Science Review)

comprehensive analysis of the role of mass politics in public life (American Political Science Review)

an extremely valuable contribution to the research literature on comparative politics (American Political Science Review)

Fears that representative democracy in western Europe is in crisis are examined on the basis of trends in mass attitudes over the past two or three decades. The evidence suggests not crisis but a changing relationship between citizens and the state. This change poses a democratic transformation in the countries of Western Europe.

Series Description
This set of five volumes is an exhaustive study of beliefs in government in post-war Europe. Based upon an extensive collection of survey evidence, the results challenge widely argued theories of mass opinion, and much scholarly writing about citizen attitudes towards government and politics.

The series arises from a research project sponsored by the European Science Foundation
