Product Information
The United States Congress has been described as dysfunctional, gridlocked, polarized, hyperpartisan, chaotic, and do-nothing. In Changing Cultures in Congress, congressional scholar Donald R. Wolfensberger explains the institutional dynamics behind Congress's devolution from a respected legislative institution to a body plagued by a win-at-any-cost mentality and a culture of perpetual campaigning. In both a historical and present-day account of congressional dysfunction, Wolfensberger explores the causes of legislative standstill and the methods used by majorities and minorities that have led to today's policy paralysis. He describes how Congress has gradually abandoned its commitment to fair and neutral procedures that safeguard both majority rule and minority rights in favor of "power House rules"--procedures and processes that advantage the majority party's electoral goals as opposed to neutral rules that preserve minority party and individual member rights to full participation in the legislative process. Through historical sketches and case studies from the past decade under both Republican and Democratic majorities, he shows how both parties have gamed what the founders intended would be an impartial set of legislative rules into a system that advantages majorities and marginalizes minorities. Digging deeper than superficial partisan explanations, Wolfensberger gives a thorough and persuasive explanation for our legislative leaders' inability to find substantive policy solutions that are in the national interest.

Reviews
This important book is a must read for all of us interested in the precipitous decline in the role of the Congress in our political system, as it yields power to the President, abandons fair procedures, and struggles to find solutions to our political problems. Written by Don Wolfensberger, one of our keenest observers of Congress (and a colleague of mine for many years), his solutions should surprise and please you., Wolfensberger combines a practitioner's eye and feel for Capitol Hill dynamics with an appreciation for broader analytical themes of interest to legislative and other American politics scholars. This book offers a procedural perspective on contemporary legislative dynamics - focusing on the ways in which partisan politics drives the diminution of the legislative process. It draws appropriately from historical cases and contemporary politics to make plain the long roots of today's dysfunction on Capitol Hill., This important book is a must-read for all of us interested in the precipitous decline in the role of Congress in our political system, as it yields power to the president, abandons fair procedures, and struggles to find solutions to our political problems. Written by Don Wolfensberger, one of our keenest observers of Congress (and a colleague of mine for many years), his solutions should surprise and please you., Changing Cultures in Congress speaks to scholars of the legislative branch, those working within it, as well as those simply seeking to better understand it. Given its timeliness and the seemingly intractable levels of polarization and partisan animosity, it is likely to be informative for many years to come as well., Wolfensberger combines a practitioner's eye and feel for Capitol Hill dynamics with an appreciation for broader analytical themes of interest to legislative and other American politics scholars. This book offers a procedural perspective on contemporary legislative dynamics, focusing on the ways in which partisan politics drives the diminution of the legislative process. It draws appropriately from historical cases and contemporary politics to make plain the long roots of today's dysfunction on Capitol Hill., When it comes to the US House of Representatives, few people can surpass Don Wolfensberger. He has been working for it and thinking about it for almost forty years. His book, Changing Cultures in Congress, is an interesting and readable history of the House. More importantly, it's about solutions to stop the current gridlock in Congress., A superb exploration of recent trends in the deliberative capacity of Congress, Wolfensberger's book will be of great interest to scholars, students, and practitioners. His treatment of the complex relationships that can exist between House procedures and party strategy is suitably nuanced, and the careful case studies of major domestic and foreign policy legislation are informative and fun to read. This is the best single treatment we have of procedural maneuvering on Capitol Hill., When it comes to the US House of Representatives, few people can surpass Don Wolfensberger. He has been working for it and thinking about it for almost forty years. His book, Changing Cultures in Congress , is an interesting and readable history of the House. More importantly, it's about solutions to stop the current gridlock in Congress.
