商品簡介
The workings of Congress are available now to the American public as never before, through personal YouTube channels and FaceBook accounts by members of Congress, and political parties' use of social networking and the Internet to promote their 'brands.' Malecha (political science, University of Portland) and Reagan (political science, Ball State University) explore the collective action dilemmas these public communications pose for political parties, and discuss the challenges they present to Congress as a deliberative body. Their discussion is grounded in an overview of the sweeping changes that have shaped the American political system in the last 50 years. Annotation c2012 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
