For three years while serving as a senior adviser to Rep. Henry A.
Waxman (D-CA), chairman of the House Committee on Energy and
Commerce-one of the most powerful committees in Congress-Bruce C.
Wolpe kept a diary, a senior staffer's look at how committees
develop and promote legislation. With its insider's view of the
rough-and-tumble politics of cap-and-trade, healthcare reform,
tobacco, oversight, and the debt ceiling agreement, The Committee
uniquely melds the art of politics and policymaking with the theory
and literature of political science. The authors engage with the
important questions that political science asks about committee
power, partisanship, and the strategies used to build winning
policy coalitions both in the Committee and on the floor of the
House. The insider politics and strategies about moving legislation
in Congress, from internal and external coalition building to a
chairman's role in framing policy narratives, will captivate both
novice and die-hard readers of politics.

Written by veteran lobbyists, this is the definitive book on how
lobbyists work. It starts with fundamentals such as the importance
of truth, accurate listening, and setting realistic goals. The
authors then clearly explain the skills, techniques, and unwritten
rules of lobbying, and promote the importance of defining issues
and knowing the players. Case studies in the second part of the
book help students understand the application of lobbying
essentials and techniques studied earlier.

between the executive and Congress in the wake of the sweeping
changes wrought by the Trump administration, as well as thoughts
about how that relationship will change again as President Biden
faces a 117th Congress that is strikingly similar to Obama's 111th.
