Description:
How does Congress function? Why are there so many hindrances to policymaking? What are the alternatives to the decentralized nature of this institution? The Contemporary Congress draws on extensive contemporary research to provide a basic understanding of the United States Congress. In the wake of the 1994 elections, Loomis examines the decentralized Congress of the last forty years and the possibilities for the new Congress to produce coherent, programmatic policies.
