Compromise in Congress seems hard to reach. But do politicians deserve all the blame? Legislators who resist concessions and stand firm to their convictions might be doing just what voters want them to do. If this is true, however, then citizens must shoulder some of the responsibility for gridlock in Congress. This book challenges this wisdom and argues that Americans value compromise as a way to resolve differences in times of partisan division. Using evidence from a variety of surveys and innovative experiments, the book demonstrates that citizens want more from politics than just ideological representation - they also care about the processes by which disagreements are settled. Americans believe that compromise is a virtuous way to resolve political disputes. Because people's desire for compromise is deeply rooted in socialized support for democratic values, principled beliefs about compromise can serve as a check on partisan thinking. Across a range of settings, people's support for compromise persists even when it comes at the cost of partisan goals and policy objectives. People give warmer evaluations to members of Congress who are willing to compromise, and view compromise legislation as more legitimate. People care about not just outcomes, but also the way decisions are reached. Winning isn't everything in politics. People also value the democratic principle of compromise."-- $c Provided by publisher. 610 10 $a United States. $b Congress $x Rules and practice. 610 17 $a United States. $b Congress. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00529490 650 0 $a Political ethics $z United States. 650 0 $a Compromise (Ethics) $x Political aspects $z United States. 650 0 $a Polarization (Social sciences) $x Political aspects $z United States. 650 0 $a Opposition (Political science) $z United States. 650 0 $a Divided government $z United States. 650 0 $a Political culture $z United States. 651 0 $a United States $x Public opinion. $x Public opinion. 650 7 $a Divided government. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00895726 650 7 $a Opposition (Political science) $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01046603 650 7 $a Parliamentary practice. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01053793 650 7 $a Political culture. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01069263 650 7 $a Political ethics. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01069286 650 7 $a Politics and government $x Public opinion. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01919779 651 7 $a United States. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204155 776 08 $i Online version: $a Wolak, Jennifer, $t Compromise in an age of party polarization $d New York, NY : Oxford University Press, 2020. $z 9780197510520 $w (DLC) 2019052467 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20220317015410.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=32AB948886E611EB80D4A9DB35ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
