Abstract:
This volume provides the first comprehensive empirical examination of the "politics of truth" -- its context, causes, and potential correctives. Combining insights from the fields of political science, political theory, communication, and psychology, the experts in this volume draw compelling -- if sometimes competing -- conclusions regarding this rising democratic threat.
