　　Thirty years after the 'Watergate Babies' promised to end

corruption in Washington, Julian Zelizer offers the first major

history of the demise of the committee era Congress and the rise of

the contemporary legislative branch. Based on research in over 100

archival collecti***, this book tackles one of the most enduring

political challenges in America: barring a w***sale evolution, how

can the instituti*** that compose representative democracy be

improved so as best to fulfill the promises of the C***titution?

While popular accounts suggest that major scandals or legislation

can transform how government works, Zelizer shows that reform is

messy, slow, multidimensional, and involves many instituti***. This

moment of reform in the 1970s revolved around a coalition that had

worked for decades, the slow reconfiguration of the relati***hip

between instituti***, shifts in the national culture, and the

ability of reformers to take advantage of scandal and

electi***.

书籍介绍

Thirty years after the "Watergate Babies" promised to end corruption in Washington, Julian Zelizer offers the first major history of the demise of the committee-era Congress and the rise of the contemporary legislative branch. Based on research in more than a hundred archival collecti***, this book tackles one of the most enduring political challenges in America: barring a w***sale revolution, how can we improve our representative democracy so as best to fulfill the promises of the C***titution? Whereas popular accounts suggest that major scandals or legislation can transform government instituti***, Zelizer shows that reform is messy, slow, and involves many instituti*** coming together at the right time. The short period of reform in the 1970s--one that rivaled the Progressive Era--revolved around a coalition that had worked for decades, a slow reconfiguration of the relati***hip among political instituti***, shifts in the national culture, and the ability of reformers to take advantage of scandals and electi***. Zelizer presents a new look at the origins of the partisanship and scandal warfare that characterize today's politics. The book also offers a warning to the next generation of reformers by showing how a new political environment can radically transform the political impact of government reforms, as occurred when the c***ervative movement--during its rise to power in recent decades--took advantage of reforms that had ended the committee era. Julian Zelizer teaches political history at Boston University. His book, Taxing America: Wilbur D. Mills, Congress, and the State, 1945-1975 (Cambridge, 1999), was awarded the Organization of American Historian's 1998 D.B. Hardeman Prize. He is the co-editor of The Democratic Experiment (Princeton University Press, 2003) and the editor of The American Congress: The Building of Democracy (Houghton-Mifflin, 2005).
