Organization Theory and the Explanation of Important Characteristics of Congress
By and large the Congress of the United States has been studied on its own terms, as a somewhat unique political institution. Studies of Congress are usually considered to be important simply because they shed light on an important institution in the American political system. It is true, of course, that Congress is an important policy-making body and does deserve study for that reason. But there is no reason why substantive importance cannot be …

Congress and Lobbies: Image and Reality
Some Effects of Interest Group Strength in State Politics
The literature on interest groups is, by and large, either heavily abstract and theoretical or highly concrete and descriptive. There are, on the one hand, several attempts to provide a theoretical framework for the study of interest groups, the major foci being either "the group basis of politics" or "mass society." On the other hand are numerous case-studies which describe in some detail, either for a particular policy or for a particular inter…
Conditions for Party Leadership: The Case of the House Democrats
Political power in Congress, all observers agree, is highly decentralized. The factors chiefly responsible for this are also well known: weak national parties (in the Congress this results in strong constituency ties and weak leadership sanctions over members) and a highly developed division of labor through the committee system. A leadership endowed with few opportunities to punish and reward, coupled with specialization by policy area, inevitab…

People and Politics: An Analysis of the American Political System
Inter-Party Constituency Differences and Congressional Voting Behavior
Academic studies of roll-call voting in Congress have tended to stress two factors: (1) the substantial degree of party cohesion in Congress on most issues, and (2) the importance of constituency factors in explaining deviations from party votes within parties. These studies indicate that party is the single most important predictor of roll-call behavior, and that constituency factors explain most of the deviation from party votes. No such study,…
Learning Political Attitudes

Not that those interested in politics have neglected its probable importance: witness the emphasis placed on learning citizenship in Plato's Republic and Rousseau's Emile.

T HE literature on what's wrong with higher education in this country is mounting by leaps and bounds. Even a partial bibliography of monographs and articles which have appeared during the last few years would run to many pages. It is only natural that as participation in higher education goes beyond a chosen few, we should reconsider what the object of advanced training should be. Most of the pleas for a changed emphasis in higher education fall…
