Reviews
'Lee and McCarty have put together a stellar team of authors to address one of the most critical questions facing Americans: can our governing institutions cope with intense partisan polarization? The resulting chapters offer valuable insights into how representation, lawmaking, and policy implementation work - and fail to work - in our political system.'

Synopsis
Can America Govern Itself? brings together a diverse group of distinguished scholars to analyze how rising party polarization and economic inequality have affected the performance of American governing institutions. It is organized around two themes: the changing nature of representation in the United States; and how changes in the political environment have affected the internal processes of institutions, overall government performance, and policy outcomes. The chapters in this volume analyze concerns about power, influence and representation in American politics, the quality of deliberation and political communications, the management and implementation of public policy, and the performance of an eighteenth century constitution in today's polarized political environment. These renowned scholars provide a deeper and more systematic grasp of what is new, and what is perennial in challenges to democracy at a fraught moment., This volume brings together a diverse group of distinguished scholars to address concerns about the contemporary performance of American institutions of government. It examines how rising inequality and party polarization have affected representation, governing processes, policy outcomes, and the constitutional system.

    the book was not as described. the condition was listed as good, but what was delivered was not, and missing a dust jacket. they did refund me right away, and let me keep the book that was shipped. so, it was a bummer at first, but they more than made up for it.
