Why Welfare States Persist: The Importance of Public Opinion in Democracies - Studies in Communication, Media, and Public Opinion
Clem Brooks

Analyzing data on sixteen countries, this work finds that the preferences of citizens profoundly influence the welfare policies of their governments and the behavior of politicians in office.
