Many political observers have expressed doubts as to whether
America's leaders are up to the task of addressing major policy
challenges. Yet much of the critical commentary lacks grounding in
the systematic analysis of the core institutions of the American
political system including elections, representation, and the
law-making process. Governing in a Polarized Age brings together
more than a dozen leading scholars to provide an in-depth
examination of representation and legislative performance. Drawing
upon the seminal work of David Mayhew as a point of departure,
these essays explore the dynamics of incumbency advantage in
today's polarized Congress, asking whether the focus on individual
re-election that was the hallmark of Mayhew's ground-breaking book,
Congress: The Electoral Connection, remains useful for
understanding today's Congress. The essays link the study of
elections with close analysis of changes in party organization and
with a series of systematic assessments of the quality of
legislative performance.
