Book Synopsis
How do politicians manage the flood of information from a wide range of sources? How do they interpret and respond to such inundation? Which issues do they pay attention to and why? Based on an information-processing perspective, this study of American politics answers these questions on decision-making processes and prioritization.

Trade Review
"A terrific book. Based on a decade of meticulous data collection, The Politics of Attention descriptively presents a macroscopic overview of fifty years of American policy development in congressional agenda formation and decision making. The payoff of this impressive empirical exercise is a fresh focus on and understanding of policy punctuations." - John Padgett, University of Chicago"
