As the U.S. Congress has steadily evolved since the Founding of our
nation, so too has our understanding of the institution. The second
edition of New Directions in Congressional Politics offers an
accessible overview of the current developments in our
understanding of America's legislative branch. Jamie L. Carson and
Michael S. Lynch help students bridge the gap between roles, rules,
and outcomes by focusing on a variety of thematic issues: the
importance of electoral considerations, legislators' strategic
behavior to accomplish objectives, the unique challenges of
Congress as a bicameral institution in a polarized environment, and
the often-overlooked policy outputs of the institution. This book
brings together leading scholars of Congress to provide a general
overview of the entire field. Each chapter covers the cutting-edge
developments on its respective topic. As the political institution
responsible for enacting laws, the American public regularly looks
to the U.S. Congress to address the important issues of the day.
The contributors in this volume help explain why staying atop the
research trends helps us better understand these issues in the
ever-changing field of American politics. New to the Second Edition
New and updated chapters highlighting party recruitment,
redistricting, women in Congress, the nationalization of
Congressional elections, and the reassertion of Congressional
oversight. A first look at Congressional-executive relations in the
Trump era. Updated data through the 2018 Midterm elections.
