内容説明

Congress is in trouble. The public doubts its capacity to solve our nations problems and the current majority party is attempting to shift the balance of institutional power away from Congress and toward the President. In The Dysfunctional Congress? , David Canon and Kenneth Mayer maintain that Congresss difficulties are the result of two fundamental flaws in the system: a misunderstanding of Congresss institutional role within our governmental process, and an ongoing conflict within Congress between actions that are individually rational for members of Congress, but are not in the collective interest of society more broadly. Most of the reforms suggested by well-intentioned outsidersterm limits, a balanced budget amendment, cutting Congressional staff, eliminating Congressional perksskirt these two central issues. 0813326990 the Dysfunctional Congress? : the Individual Roots of an Institutional Dilemma
