Opis

An in-depth study of how members of Congress work together to create policy in a polarized legislature.

Recenzje

'In this timely and interesting book, Craig argues that, even in our current partisan and highly polarized environment, collaboration among members of Congress - both within and across the aisle - is a regular occurrence. By demonstrating why and how our representatives collaborate to pursue policy that benefits constituents, she offers an important complement and counterbalance to research on the many ways in which the contemporary Congress does 'not' work. The Collaborative Congress deserves to be widely read and discussed.' Tracy Sulkin, University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign
