520 $aDocuments the rise of incivility and the partisan shrillness in Congress, traces its complex causes, and identifies its adverse consequences for the functioning of democratic government. Ahuja identifies six causes of the rise of partisanship and incivility among congressional members: Political redistricting and imposition of party discipline; rising influence of adversarial special-interest groups; adversarial format fostered by the 24-hour news cycle; rising use of short-term consultants; increasing insertion of "wedge issues; and avoidance of social interaction among opposing members. He prescribes remedies to curb destructive partisanship and restore dignity and efficiency to the workings of Congress. From publisher description.
