Product Description
This collection of original essays, written by some of the most prominent scholars in the field, addresses how the recent rise in partisan politics within national institutions has affected congressional-presidential relations. In each of the chapters, contributors present original research that will enhance students' understanding of how partisanship affects politics at the national level. Offering insights into the interaction of the presidential and congressional branches from their respective vantage points, the essays in this volume cover a range of subjects including presidential agenda-setting in Congress, lawmaking in a partisan era, and competition between presidents and their parties to define their public identities. Editors Bond and Fleisher have written introductory and concluding chapters as well as introductory headnotes for all other chapters.

We used this as a textbook in one of our classes. It was pretty helpful. Shows the direction that Congress and the Presidency are moving in with regards to polarization and explains the reason for that movement.
