In this fully revised edition, political scientists David W. Brady and Craig Volden demonstrate that gridlock is not a product of divided government, party politics, or any of the usual scapegoats. It is, instead, an instrumental part of American government?built into our institutions and sustained by leaders acting rationally not only to achieve set goals but to thwart foolish inadvertencies. Looking at key legislative issues from the divided government under Reagan, through Clinton's Democratic government to complete unified Republican control under George W. Bush, the authors clearly and carefully analyze important crux points in lawmaking: the swing votes, the veto, the filibuster, and the rise of tough budget politics. They show that when it comes to government gridlock, it doesn't matter who's in the White House or who's in control of Congress; it's as American as apple pie, and its results may ultimately be as sweet in ensuring stability and democracy. 410 0$aTransforming American politics. 606 $aCoalition governments$zUnited States 607 $aUnited States$xPolitics and government$y1945-1989 607 $aUnited States$xPolitics and government$y1989- 615 0$aCoalition governments 676 $a320.973 676 $a320.973/09/049 700 $aBrady$b David W.$0541816 801 0$bFlBoTFG 801 1$bFlBoTFG 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910828313703321 996 $aRevolving gridlock$93976597 997 $aUNINA
