Session 6: Minority Domination

Philip Converse, "The Nature of Belief Systems in Mass Publics," in Ideology and Discontent, ed. David Apter (1964)

Gives evidence of the ignorance of most voters.

Robert Dahl, "Is Minority Domination Inevitable?" Democracy and Its Critics (Yale UP, 1989): 265-279.

Challenges the elite-domination thesis.
