Dodd and Oppenheimer provide the reader with up-to-date knowledge and insights through a series of articles by many of the best congressional scholars researching the contemporary institution and its historical development. Included in this edition are a number of important perspectives on Republican reforms and the circumstances that made their GOP victories possible. But the contributors also place the developments of the 104th Congress in historical context, assessing which changes break new ground, and which continue previously developing trends.
A must for all who seek to understand what's happened to the post-reform Congress and where it's going.
