Description

As the relationship between the executive and legislative branches of the federal government becomes increasingly hostile, more Americans are wondering whether national politics can be described as gridlock or good government.

This provocative and insightful collection of original essays provides answers by exploring the complicated nature and multiple implications of divided government in the United States.

The distinguished contributors analyze the consequences of the 1992 and 1994 elections and argue that discussions of divided government are too narrowly focused on the issue of partisan division of governmental institutions.

Divided Government convincingly shows how political scientists have downplayed the significance of Constitutional rules, legislative policy disaggregation, and the decline of party organization.

They conclude that divided government, in its broader institutional context, will continue regardless of which parties control the different branches.
