"Polarization. Partisanship. Rancor. Character assassinations.
Government shutdowns. Why can't our elected officials just get
along and do their jobs? The United States was once seen as a land
of broad consensus and pragmatic politics. Sharp ideological
differences were largely absent. But today politics in America is
dominated by intense party polarization and limited agreement among
legislative representatives on policy problems and solutions.
Americans pride themselves on their community spirit, civic
engagement, and dynamic society. Yet, as the editors of this volume
argue, we are handicapped by our national political institutions,
which often-but not always-stifle the popular desire for policy
innovation and political reforms. Negotiating Agreement in Politics
explores both the domestic and foreign political arenas to
understand the problems of political negotiation. The editors and
contributors share lessons from success stories and offer practical
advice for overcoming polarization. In deliberative negotiation,
the parties share information, link issues, and engage in joint
problem solving. Only in this way can they discover and create
possibilities, and use their collective intelligence for the good
of citizens of both parties and for the country. "
