Book Synopsis
The congressional agenda includes many issues about which liberals and conservatives generally agree. Even over these matters, though, Democratic and Republican senators tend to fight with each other. This book argues that many partisan battles are rooted in competition for power rather than disagreement over the rightful role of government.

Trade Review
"Innovative, interesting, and important, Beyond Ideology gives us rich new insights on an institution about which we still know relatively little compared with the House. It is a substantial contribution that sheds new light on complex relationships and offers engaging illustrations drawn from political interactions on legislation." - David W. Rohde, Duke University"
