Political Disagreement: The Survival of Diverse Opinions within Communication Networks

Cambridge Studies in Public Opinion and Political Psychology

by Robert Huckfeldt, Paul E. Johnson, John Sprague

Without the experience of disagreement, political communication among citizens loses value and meaning. At the same time, political disagreement and diversity do not always or inevitably survive. This book, accordingly, considers the compelling issue of the circumstances that sustain political diversity, even in politically high stimulus environments where individuals are attentive to politics and the frequency of communication among citizens is correspondingly high.
