While the Senate hasn't yet become as rancorous as the House, over the past three decades it has grown noticeably less collegial. In Esteemed Colleagues, leading congressional scholars address the extent to which civility has declined in the U.S. Senate, and how that decline has affected our political system. The contributors analyze the relationships between Senators, shaped by high levels of both individualism and partisanship, and how these ties shape the deliberation of issues before the chamber. Civility and deliberation have changed in recent decades, up to and including the Clinton impeachment process, and the book sheds light on both the current American politics and the broad issues of representation, responsiveness, and capacity within our governmental institutions. 606 $aCivil society$zUnited States 606 $aGovernment etiquette$zUnited States 606 $aRepresentative government and representation$zUnited States 615 0$aCivil society 615 0$aGovernment etiquette 615 0$aRepresentative government and representation 676 $a328.73/071 701 $aLoomis$b Burdett A.$f1945-$01629883 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910827688103321 996 $aEsteemed colleagues$94038675 997 $aUNINA
