Description: "Using Israeli public opinion on issues of peace and territories during the Intifada as a case study, Shamir and Shamir focus on public opinion dynamics at the system level. They explore how the facets of public opinion respond to variability in the information environment and how they may evolve along different dynamic paths. The nature of the information environment is a major factor in determining which dynamic path will be set in motion.".

"The Anatomy of Public Opinion is an important contribution to the study of information in public opinion processes. It will be of interest to students and scholars of political science, communication, public opinion, and political psychology."--BOOK JACKET.
