The Republican Party is best understood as the vehicle of an
ideological movement whose leaders prize commitment to conservative
doctrine; Republican candidates primarily appeal to voters by
emphasizing broad principles and values. In contrast, the
Democratic Party is better characterized as a coalition of social
groups seeking concrete government action from their allies in
office, with group identities and interests playing a larger role
than abstract ideology in connecting Democratic elected officials
with organizational leaders and electoral supporters. Building on
this core distinction, Asymmetric Politics investigates the most
consequential differences in the organization and style of the two
major parties. Whether examining voters, activists, candidates, or
officeholders, Grossman and Hopkins find that Democrats and
Republicans think differently about politics, producing distinct
practices and structures. The analysis offers a new understanding
of the rise in polarization and governing dysfunction and a new
explanation for the stable and exceptional character of American
political culture and public policy.
