A Divided Union delves deep into ten pressing political challenges
that former US Representatives Patrick Murphy (D) and David Jolly
(R) have identified over their multiple terms in Congress and that
continue to plague the American electorate today. In an
introduction describing their unique paths to Congress, Murphy and
Jolly focus in detail on key institutional barriers they faced in
Washington in attempting to do the job voters elected them to do.
They introduce us to geographic challenges, demographic change, a
polarized media, gerrymandering, the role of money in politics, the
structure of primary elections, and several other aspects of
political life on Capitol Hill. The core of the book is original
analysis by experts who tackle these topics in a manner relevant to
both the seasoned political science student as well as the general
reader. From the commercials we see on TV to the city council
districts in which we live, these concerns shape every facet of our
public lives and are distilled here in a careful synthesis of years
of experience and research. Contributors include former federal
elected officials, political science professors, members of the
press, and scholars immersed in their fields of study. While other
textbooks may examine similar issues, few have been edited by
former members of the U.S. House who have walked the halls of
Congress and directly experienced political dysfunction at so many
levels - and are willing to address it. A Divided Union is
appropriate for all political science students as well as the
general public frustrated and alarmed by political gridlock.
