Rowman & Littlefield Publishers James Madison Rules America
Book SynopsisJames Madison Rules America examines congressional party legislative and electoral strategy in the context of our constitutional separation of powers. In a departure from recent books that have described Congress as ''the broken branch'' or the ''Second Civil War,'' William Connelly argues that partisanship, polarization and the permanent campaign are an inevitable part of congressional politics. The strategic conundrum confronting both parties in the House of Representatives whether to be part of the government or part of the opposition provides evidence of how concretely James Madison''s Constitution governs the behavior of politicians to this day. Drawing on a two-hundred year debate within American political thought among the Federalists, Anti-Federalists, Alexis de Tocqueville and Woodrow Wilson, James Madison Rules America is as topical as current debates over partisan polarization and the permanent campaign, while being grounded in two enduring and important schools of thought wTrade ReviewBill Connelly connects the dots on our seemingly scattershot political panorama and reveals a pattern of recurring conflict and gridlock traceable to the scheme's designer, James Madison. Connelly affirms Madison's wisdom and in so doing gives us a better appreciation for it. -- Donald R. Wolfensberger, Director of The Congress Project, The Woodrow Wilson International Center for CongressIn this outstanding book, William F. Connelly, Jr. reminds us that the Constitution continues to shape national politics. Drawing on his deep knowledge of the theory and practice of American government, he cogently explains that compromise and conflict are both part of our country's genetic code. James Madison Rules America is a timely treatment of a timeless topic. Full of unexpected insights and subtle wisdom, it asks us to look beyond Internet headlines and intellectual fads to the things that really matter: the structures that the Founders put in place more than two centuries ago. This book is a remarkable intellectual achievement, handling profound issues with clarity and erudition. It would be a valuable addition to courses on Congress andAmerican national politics.. -- John J. Pitney Jr., Roy P. Crocker Professor of American Politics, Claremont McKenna CollegeMandatory reading for all involved or interested in politics today so they will understand the foundations of our system. -- Jerry Climer, The Congressional Institute, Inc.No author has done more than William Connelly to show how the Constitution guides, structures, and influences the hard realities of Congressional politics. Past and present, theory and practice, and law and politics are joined in this fine volume to reveal the strategies and dilemmas that have confronted congressional party leaders from James Madison and Henry Clay to Newt Gingrich and Nancy Pelosi. -- James W. Ceaser, University of VirginiaIn this lively and provocative interpretation of James Madison’s political thought, Bill Connelly brings a fresh understanding to U.S. Congress today. Congress, he argues, is not broken. Despite its real and apparent imperfections, Madisonian pluralism shapes congressional politics and always has. James Madison Rules America lowers the fever-pitch criticism of Congress and applies a skeptical intelligence to popular ideas for reform. Connelly shows that much of the current hand-wringing about Congress may stem from too little appreciation of Madison’s constitutional handiwork and of politics in general. -- Catherine E. Rudder, George Mason UniversityIn James Madison Rules America, William F. Connelly explains the interplay of political and constitutional forces that shape politics and public policy making in the United States. Connelly finds that the underlying constitutional structure frames the possibilities our political process may contemplate. Viewed through the lens of constitutional theory, the American political system manages to channel partisan forces into public policy outcomes. Every American should read this book. -- Ronald Peters, Regents' Professor Carl Albert Center and Department of Political ScienceIn this outstanding book, William F. Connelly, Jr. reminds us that the Constitution continues to shape national politics. Drawing on his deep knowledge of the theory and practice of American government, he cogently explains that compromise and conflict are both part of our country's genetic code. James Madison Rules America is a timely treatment of a timeless topic.

This book is a remarkable intellectual achievement, handling profound issues with clarity and erudition. It would be a valuable addition to courses on Congress and American national politics. -- John J. Pitney Jr., Roy P. Crocker Professor of American Politics, Claremont McKenna CollegeWe are hearing a great deal about the role of the Constitution and the significance of congressional parties. In James Madison Rules America, William F. Connelly Jr. explains their connection. Drawing on his vast knowledge of contemporary politics and the Founding era, Connelly shows how Madison’s handiwork shapes congressional behavior. Under the separation of powers, he argues persuasively, neither party is ever simply the “government” or the 'opposition'.... [A] lucidly written and thoroughly documented analysis. * National Review, July 2010 *Connelly offers an important new contribution to the study of congressional partisanship. The author, a well-regarded scholar of Congress, political parties, and interest groups, argues that much of the prevailing scholarship and public opinion about Congress as an institution is misinformed because it has not been properly grounded in an understanding of how the Constitution shapes the behavior of the institution. Relying on an extensive array of sources ranging from personal interviews to political theory, Connelly challenges a great deal of the conventional wisdom about Congress. Specifically, he takes exception to the belief that Congress today is defined more by dysfunction than competence and that the cause of this dysfunction stems principally from behavioral sources—namely, the self-interest of elected officials. He counters this perception by arguing that contemporary congressional politics is shaped by constitutional design and that partisanship and conflict are simply by-products of the constitutional system. The choices made by congressional leaders to pursue compromise or conflict, partisanship or pluralism, are influenced by Madisonian design and do not represent a defect of politics that requires remedy. Summing Up: Highly recommended. * CHOICE *The book is an important work of scholarship on Congress, the separation of powers, and American political parties. Connelly carefully weaves virtually all major works on Congress into his analysis and thoroughly explains to the reader why James Madison still rules America.Table of ContentsChapter 1 Dedication Chapter 2 Acknowledgments Chapter 3 Chapter 1: Congressional Party Strategy Chapter 4 Chapter 2: House Democrats: The Wilderness Years Chapter 5 Chapter 3: House Republicans: Newt the Anti-Federalist?

Bloomsbury Publishing (UK) In Search of Greater Syria
Book SynopsisChristopher Solomon is an analyst specializing in Middle East history and politics, and works for a US defense consultancy in Washington, D.C., USA.Trade ReviewA needed analysis of a dynamic group pursuing political change ... This book should be required for advanced students navigating the modern history of the Levant. * Choice *Provides the reader with an accessible and comprehensive overview of the [SSNP's] history. * The Middle East Journal *Chris Solomon provides an insightful and invaluable account into one of the oldest political movements in the Levant. Abundant with assassinations, betrayals and military coups, there is no dull moment in the history of the Syrian Social Nationalist Party which continues to be very relevant today as Solomon demonstrates in this book. It is a vital resource for anyone aiming to understand Levantine politics and modern history. -- Rim Turkmani, London School of Economics and Political Science, UKIn Search of Greater Syria is interesting, bright, eloquent and readable, presenting the reader with the first comprehensive picture of the history of the SSNP. This is therefore a must-read book for anyone seeking to learn the history of the party but also the turbulent history of Syria and Lebanon. * Eyal Zisser, Tel Aviv University, Israel *In Search of Greater Syria is the most detailed account ever written on the fascinating political movement of the Syrian Social Nationalist Party.Christopher Solomon analyses with great skill how this relatively small anti-sectarian and secular party, which eschewed ethnicity and language in favor of history and territory, has been attractive for people from minorities in both Syria and Lebanon. He shows eloquently how the SSNP developed from a fierce competitor of the Ba’th Party in Syria during the 1950s, into being its ally during the Syrian civil war (which started in 2011). While the SNNP over the decades pragmatically scaled down its original ideal of a wider Fertile Crescent unity (including Iraq) in favor of a more restricted unity of a Greater Syria (including Syria, Lebanon, Jordan and Palestine), the pan-Arab ideals of the Ba’th regime in Syria likewise faded down in favor of a kind of pan-Syrianism, as a result of which both parties, ideologically speaking, came closer to one another. This study shows convincingly that the SSNP will be an essential factor to watch in the future, as long as this party does not overplay its hand, as a result of which it would risk renewed persecution. -- Nikolaos van Dam, former Dutch ambassador and author of Destroying a Nation: The Civil War in Syria.Table of ContentsChapter 1: Introduction and why the SSNP matters Chapter 2: The Party of the Martyr Chapter 3: The SSNP’s Ideology Chapter 4: The SSNP’s beginnings in Syria Chapter 5: Under the shadow of Nasser Chapter 6: The Lebanese Civil War Chapter 7: From guerillas to politicians, the SSNP in Lebanese politics Chapter 8: The SSNP in the Syrian Civil War Chapter 9: Women, youth, and social media Chapter 10: The SSNP’s future in Syria Key figures and factions A list of SSNP presidents A timeline of the SSNP's factions and historic splits

Rowman & Littlefield Publishers The Social Movement Society Contentious Politics
