The Death of Deliberation (eBook, ePUB)

Gridlock and the Politics of Effort in the United States Senate

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

The first edition of The Death of Deliberation revealed how the Senate legislates in a contentious environment. Yet it has been unable to legislate in recent years. Since 2013, the Senate has become more dysfunctional and gridlock has increased. The 115th Congress was one of the least productive two-year stretches in the Senate's history. This second edition of The Death of Deliberation accounts for this dramatic turn of events.
