How do issues end up on the agenda? Why do lawmakers routinely
invest in program oversight and broad policy development? What
considerations drive legislative policy change? For many, Congress
is an institution consumed by partisan bickering and gridlock. Yet
the institution's long history of addressing significant societal
problems - even in recent years - seems to contradict this view.
Congress and the Politics of Problem Solving argues that the
willingness of many voters to hold elected officials accountable
for societal conditions is central to appreciating why Congress
responds to problems despite the many reasons mustered for why it
cannot. The authors show that, across decades of policy making,
problem-solving motivations explain why bipartisanship is a common
pattern of congressional behavior and offer the best explanation
for legislative issue attention and policy change.
