Reviews for Framing Democracy: A Behavioral Approach to Democratic Theory
"This is an interesting new area of research that has not previously received any sustained treatment in the literature on normative democratic theory... The book is clearly and tightly written. Kelly's discussions of the philosophical relevance of empirical findings are especially thoughtful. His command of the empirical literature on framing effects is impressive."
