Abstract

Citizen disengagement from politics is a problem across much of the democratic world, with the public often not only disinterested, but actively hostile to politicians and policymakers. But is this growing cynicism limited to the public? Or are political and policy elites equally culpable of cynicism about the democratic process? Jack Corbett and John Boswell argue that this is the case, and that different ways of understanding this cynicism have much to teach us.
