Eric M. Patashnik is professor of public policy and political science at Brown University. His books include Reforms at Risk: What Happens After Major Policy Changes Are Enacted.
"""Leading policy analyst Eric Patashnik has done it again. He offers a wide-ranging yet penetrating theory of backlash politics, helping us understand when and why the public or organized interests will rise up against enacted policies. Backlash will stand alongside positive feedback, increasing returns, drift, and Patashnik’s own 'durability' as a powerful tool for assessing the life course of public policies."" -- Andrea Louise Campbell | author of ""How Policies Make Citizens: Senior Political Activism and the American Welfare State"""
