Bøger af Gary C. Jacobson

Pairing historical data analysis and original research with fundamental concepts of representation and responsibility, Gary Jacobson's classic text provides students with a comprehensive introduction to congressional elections and the electoral process.

Jacobson draws on survey data from the past seven administrations to show that the expansion of the executive branch in the twentieth century that gave presidents a greater role in national government also gave them an enlarged public presence, magnifying their role as the parties' public voice and face.
