Preface; Acknowledgments; 1 Parties in the House of Representatives; 2 Reform and Its Consequences: A Closer Look; 3 The Democratic Caucus: Membership Change and Organizational Developments; 4 The Democratic Leadership: Party Agents and Agenda Management; 5 Republican Reactions, Presidential Agendas, and Legislative Consequences; 6 Conclusions and Future Prospects; Notes; References; Index.

Summary: Since the Second World War, congressional parties have been characterized as declining in strength and influence. Research has generally attributed this decline to policy conflicts within parties, to growing electoral independence of members, and to the impact of the congressional reforms of the 1970s. Yet the 1980s witnessed a strong resurgence of parties and party leadership--especially in the House of Representatives. Offering a concise and compelling explanation of the causes of this resurgence, David W. Rohde argues that a realignment of electoral forces led to a reduction of sectional div.
