As a result of the 1994 midterm election, the Republicans took
control of both houses of Congress and divided government returned
to Washington. Now, as the budget battles of 1995 clearly
demonstrate, conflict between the parties is sending the government
back to gridlock. In this sequel to Beyond Gridlock?--a study
published at the beginning of the Clinton administration, when
government was in the hands of one political party--the
contributors address this dilemma. They begin by evaluating the
effectiveness of the U.S. governmental system during the first two
years of the Clinton administration, when both branches were
controlled by a single party. They then move to a wider debate
about the state of affairs in the American political system: what
are the consequences of the Republican takeover of Congress, and
will fundamental changes be required to make our system work
effectively? Looking to the future, they outline the prospects for
governance in the months and years to come. In addition to the
editor, the contributors are Howard H. Baker, Jr., Harold R. Bruno,
Jr., Becky Cain, Lloyd N. Cutler, Thomas J. Downey, Kenneth M.
Duberstein, Bill Frenzel, Charles O. Jones, Thomas E. Mann,
Patricia McGinnis, Milton D. Morris, Kevin P. Phillips, Robert D.
Reischauer, Donald L. Robinson, Robin Toner, and Vin Weber.
