Dodd (U. of Florida) and Oppenheimer (Vanderbilt U.) present a collection of 18 essays (13 are new to this edition) that explore cutting-edge research on the development of the modern Congress, covering the patterns and dynamics of congressional change, analysis of elections and constituencies, and the dynamics of parties and committees. Important new chapter topics include the effects of a decade of Republican control, policymaking in an age of terrorism, how African American and other minorities have changed Congress; congressional preeminence in the late nineteenth century (contrasted with the presidential preeminence of 1969-2004); the impact of congressional committees in a partisan era; and the causes and consequences of declining party competitiveness.
