About Book

W.P. Browne, Choice
"Gruber grapples successfully with one of the most fundamental problems of modern democracy. . . . Well written and thoughtfully organized, this book blends political theory with empirical data; it should be required reading for those interested in citizen involvement."

Book Description
How can citizens of a democracy exercise control over government officials in ways that allow for effective government? In this book, Professor Gruber merges a sophisticated analysis with empirical research to develop a new approach to this perennial problem.

From the Inside Flap
"The author treats the classic problem of achieving democratic control over powerful bureaucracies very successfully both by treating familiar material in a new and important way and by presenting new empirical evidence on the problem. . . . This is the most sophisticated and systematic work on the subject. . . . exceedingly well written--succinct, direct, and even graceful."--Dale Rogers Marshall, University of California, Davis
