Reviews
"Dr. Lauermann not only develops a more comprehensive model of constituent evaluations of representatives, but she also provides a stunningly broad-based review of the literature on representation and the relationship between constituents and elected officials. She also provides a rather thorough review of how other studies seem to chip away around the edges. This work is a 'must-assign' for classes in legislative politics or those taking a more theoretical approach to the study of representation and republican government."
