Revolving Gridlock (eBook, PDF)

Politics and Policy from Jimmy Carter to George W. Bush

• Format: PDF

Produktbeschreibung

Political scientists Brady and Volden demonstrate that gridlock is not a product of divided government, party politics, or any of the usual scapegoats. Instead it's 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.
