Democratic citizenship, democratic citizens, and mass-elite linkages -- Exogenous events, evaluations of stewardship, and citizens' normal voting behavior -- Endogenous influences and the evaluative capacities of democratic citizens -- Conceptual and methodological foundations for a reexamination of popular efficacy -- The roots of partisanship: party elites, exogenous groups, and electoral bases -- Partisan realignments and electoral independence: the incidence, distribution, and magnitude of enduring electoral change -- Electoral perturbations and electoral independence: stewardship, partisanship, and accountability -- The electoral impact of departures from normal voting patterns: electoral jolts and the aspirations of political elites -- Popular efficacy in the democratic era.
Review: "In this book, Peter Nardulli challenges the conventional wisdom that citizens are "manageable fools," with little capacity to exercise independent judgment in the voting booth. Rather, he argues, voters are eminently capable of playing an efficacious role in democratic politics and of routinely demonstrating the ability to evaluate competing stewards in a discriminating manner."--BOOK JACKET.
