520    $a "Government is broken. Washington is failing. Democracy is in crisis. Many elected officials, policy experts, and ordinary citizens share a belief that US political institutions are incapable of responding to the concerns of everyday Americans and serving the public interest. What is less clear, however, is why these institutions are falling below expectations and how they might be fixed. The contributors to Dynamics of American Democracy bring their expertise on the various institutions of American governance and political life to examine how we arrived at this point and what might be done to right thd ship. Topics covered include Congressional stalemate, the two-party system, political polarization, social media, gender and public opinion, and the role of the presidency in today's tribal politics"-- $c Provided by publisher.
