Course Description
This course analyzes the development of the United States Congress by
focusing on the competing theoretical lenses through which legislatures
have been studied. In particular, it compares sociological and economic
models of legislative behavior, applying those models to floor
decision-making, committee behavior, political parties, relations with
other branches of the Federal government, and elections. Graduate
students are expected to pursue the subject in greater depth through
reading and individual research.
