Insecure Majorities
Book • 2016
In 'Insecure Majorities,' Frances E. Lee presents a new perspective on the rise of congressional party conflict.
She argues that the competitive parity between Democrats and Republicans has significantly altered their strategies, leading to increased partisanship.
This shift began in the 1980s, as elections became more competitive, prompting both parties to focus on promoting their image and undermining their opponents, often at the expense of bipartisan cooperation.
