The first comprehensive study in more than forty years to explain
congressional leadership selection How are congressional party
leaders chosen? In the first comprehensive study since Robert
Peabody's classic Leadership in Congress, political scientists
Matthew Green and Douglas Harris draw on newly collected data about
U.S. House members who have sought leadership positions from the
1960s to the present-data including whip tallies, public and
private vote commitments, interviews, and media accounts-to provide
new insights into how the selection process truly works. Elections
for congressional party leaders are conventionally seen as a
function of either legislators' ideological preferences or factors
too idiosyncratic to permit systematic analysis. Analyzing six
decades' worth of information, Harris and Green find evidence for a
new comprehensive model of vote choice in House leadership
elections that incorporates both legislators' goals and their
connections with leadership candidates. This study will stand for
years to come as the definitive treatment of a crucial aspect of
American politics.
