Making Punches Count

The Individual Logic of Legislative Brawls

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

It is not uncommon for elected politicians to be passionate--and to passionately dislike opponents from the other side of the aisle. Yet however much they dislike their opponents, there is a baseline expectation that any fighting will be verbal only. As Nathan Batto and Emily Beaulieu demonstrate in Making Punches Count, physical fights on the floors of legislatures are an all too common feature of politics in democracies around the world.
