Incremental Polarization

A Unified Spatial Theory of Legislative Elections, Parties and Roll Call Voting

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

In Incremental Polarization, Justin Buchler fills critical gaps in our understanding of legislative polarization by crafting a unified spatial theory of legislative elections, parties, and roll call voting. He contends that we need to move beyond elections and factor in Congress members' behavior in roll call voting-where a different but related spatial continuum operates.
