However, how valid is this assumption?

"The Role of Public Opinion Research in Canadian Government demonstrates that opinion research has a greater variety of roles than is often recognized, and that, despite conventional wisdom, its foremost impact is to help governments determine how to communicate with citizens. It is an essential contribution to the study of Canadian politics, filling a major gap in the scholarship."--Jacket. 410 0$aInstitute of Public Administration of Canada series in public management and governance. 606 $aPolitical planning$zCanada 606 $aPublic opinion$zCanada 606 $aFederal government$zCanada$xPublic opinion 607 $aCanada$xPolitics and government$y1980-$xPublic opinion 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aPolitical planning 615 0$aPublic opinion 615 0$aFederal government$xPublic opinion. 676 $a320.60971 700 $aPage$b Christopher$f1963-$01499669 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910780672803321 996 $aThe roles of public opinion research in Canadian government$93725892 997 $aUNINA
