Implications of Partisanship in the U.S. Congress
Sun, October 3, 8:00 to 9:30am PDT (8:00 to 9:30am PDT), TBASession Submission Type: In-Person Created Panel
Session Description
If, as suggested by Cartel Theory, parties matter: what are the implications of legislative party control over varying patterns of behavior? To what extent are parties' fingertips behind individual decisions like sponsorship and voting? How do parties implement controversial decisions such as gerrymandering or the allowance/prohibition of factionalism and deviations from discipline? Many relevant answers to these questions will be discussed in this panel
