Party Polarization in Congress 下载 pdf 百度网盘 epub 免费 2025 电子书 mobi 在线

The political parties in Congress are as polarized as they have

been in 100 years. This book examines more than 30 years of

congressional history to understand how it is that the Democrats

and Republicans on Capitol Hill have become so divided. It finds

that two steps were critical for this development. First, the

respective parties' constituencies became more politically and

ideologically aligned. Second, members ceded more power to their

party leaders, who implemented procedures more frequently and with

greater consequence. In fact, almost the entire rise in party

polarization can be accounted for in the increasing frequency of

and polarization on procedures used during the legislative

process.
