Peter F. Galderisi, Roberta Q. Herzberg, and Peter McNamara are professors of political science at Utah State University, Logan.
Peter Galderisi has assembled a great team of veteran stars and
talented rookies to confront one of the most vexing aspects of
contemporary politics: divided government. They make lots of hits,
score many runs, and make few errors.
*John C. Green, University of Akron*
Divided government has been a common characteristic of American
politics for more than forty years . . . ten distinguished
political scientists and historians present informative and
insightful essays that brilliantly illuminate the subject.
*A James Reichley, Senior Fellow; Georgetown University; author of
The Life of the Parties*
The discussion this book would elicit in any upper-division
undergraduate course and graduate survey course, would clearly
identify the causes and consequences of the American policy-making
environment. The empirical evidence supporting these chapters is
well referenced, with several chapters including clear charts and
graphs. In addition, the bibliography provides a good starting
point for students wanting to undertake a literature search of some
of the most important scholars and practitioners in American
government.
*Jeanette Pigeon, Long Beach Community College*
. . . a wonderful collection of essays by leading scholars who
assess and advance the state of our knowledge on this important
phenemonon . . . This book is a gem.
