The elections of 1998 bear out the thesis of this book: so far, the
Republicans in Congress are operating more like an old minority
party than the new majority party they've become. Still, Congress
has changed under Republican leadership and the Republicans have
changed, too. This volume of original essays by leading
congressional scholars explores the impact of the Republican
majority on Congress with attention to the history of the
institution and party characteristics present and future. For
students and scholars alike, the new majority of an old minority
provides a laboratory for political analysis that demonstrates
lasting effects. As Republicans learn to govern, the country will
no doubt learn something, too.
