Description

In Constitutional Polarization: A Critical Review of the U.S. Political System, Josep M. Colomer offers a fresh perspective on the current state of American politics. While many observers blame political division on personality clashes, socioeconomic gaps, or cultural shifts, Colomer argues that the root cause lies within the constitutional design itself. This book examines how the specific formula of separation of powers between the Presidency and Congress creates institutional gridlock. When combined with a two-party system, these structural elements lead to adversarial politics. Colomer provides a deep look at how the framework of the U.S. government contributes to sustained conflict, moving the conversation beyond simple character studies of political leaders. This work is essential for readers looking to understand the structural mechanics behind political division. By analyzing the relationship between institutional rules and party dynamics, Colomer explains why bipartisan cooperation has changed and how the current system promotes polarization. It is a necessary read for students and scholars of political science and American government.
