Power to the People Social Choice and the

Power to the People examines the first session of the Nebraska Unicameral Legislature, in 1937, to determine whether the Legislature's structure and rules reflected populism, progressivism, or simply a variant of liberal democracy. Building on the work of the new institutionalism and applying the principles of social choice, Power to the People argues that the structure and procedures of an institution affect its product as well as the philosophies on which it is founded.

Charlyne Berens is Associate Professor in the College of Journalism and Mass Communications at University of Nebraska-Lincoln.
