Description

Understand the mechanics of American governance with The Dysfunctional Congress? by Routledge. This academic text provides students with a clear introduction to how individual motivations shape the outcomes of collective decision-making in the United States government. By applying rational choice theories, the book explores the specific reasons why individuals coming together to make decisions can lead to institutional challenges.
