Описание:
Contemporary members of Congress routinely use the media to advance their professional goals. Today, virtually every aspect of their professional legislative life unfolds in front of cameras and microphones and, increasingly, online. The Public Congress explores how the media moved from being a peripheral to a central force in U.S. congressional politics. The authors show that understanding why this happened allows us to see the constellation of forces that combined over the last fifty years to transform the American political order.
Malecha and Reagan's keen analysis links the new "public" Congress and the forces that are shaping political parties, the Presidency, interest groups, and the media. They conclude by asking whether the kind of discourse that this "new media" environment fosters encourages Congress to make its distinctive deliberative contribution to the American polity. This text brings historical depth as well as coverage of the most current cutting edge trends in new media environment and provides an exhaustive treatment of how the U.S. Congress uses the media in the governing process today.
Congressional Procedure, explains the legislative and congressional budget processes along with all aspects of Congress.
This comprehensive guide to Congress is ideal for anyone who wants to know how Congress really works, including federal executives, attorneys, lobbyists, media and public affairs staff, government affairs, policy and budget analysts, congressional office staff and students.
Clear explanation of the legislative process, budget process, and House and Senate business
Legislative process flowchart
Explanation of the electoral college and votes by states

Each chapter concludes with Review Questions.
Chapter 1 examines the relationship between the U.S. Constitution and the House and Senate. It discusses Constitutional provisions that directly affect Congress. The makeup, roles and leadership of the House and Senate are compared and contrasted. Congressional committees and their place and power in the House and Senate are explored.
Chapter 2 begins with a discussion of why members submit legislation, explains the forms of legislation, and lays out the steps involved in drafting legislation. Bills, joint resolutions, concurrent resolutions and simple House and Senate resolutions and their purposes are separately described. Ends with a flowchart of the legislative process.
In Chapter 3, the work of Congressional committees is examined in greater detail: types of committees and their structures; subcommittees; power of the chairs of committees; hearings, markups and amendment procedure in committee; and the reporting of legislation to the House and Senate floor.
Chapters 4 and 5 follow the course of legislation through the respective chambers and some of the more arcane elements of House and Senate floor action.
Chapter 4 addresses some of the unique characteristics of the House including the central and crucial role played by the Rules Committee and the special rules it reports. Scheduling, consideration, amending, and passage of legislation through the House is described in detail.
Chapter 5 discusses the handling of legislation on the Senate floor, including unique Senate characteristics like the filibuster, the nuclear option, holds, and the filling of the amendment tree.
Chapter 6 explains the various procedures for resolving differences in legislation between the Senate and the House.
The budget process is addressed in Chapter 7, including appropriations and authorization procedures, the 1974 Budget and Impoundment Control Act and the key role it has played since its adoption, the use of the optional budget reconciliation process, and the somewhat complex but crucial Byrd Rule.
Chapter 8 concludes the detail and analysis of Congressional procedure with a number of processes that are not strictly legislative, including a number of Constitutional responsibilities given to Congress such as oversight and investigation and advice and consent, counting of Electoral College ballots, and impeachment.
The conclusion, Chapter 9, describes the way in which many of the procedures explained in this book are increasingly being used, and some would say abused, in both the House and the Senate.

Описание:
From the beginning of the Republic, members of Congress have been in the media spotlight. In recent years, the expansion of media venues has provided both challenges and opportunities to Representatives and Senators, the public, and even the media itself. Legacy media such as newspapers and broadcast television each carry with them their own needs and accepted usages affecting the kind and volume of news about Congress delivered to the public. These sources still serve important roles for much of the public and are covered here. This book goes beyond the traditional legacy media to include Congressa (TM) portrayal on live television, in political cartoons, in film, as a part of the emerging a oeinfotainmenta venues, and through social media such as web pages, Facebook, and Twitter. We increasingly live in a world where the lines between traditional news and others sources of information have been erased. This is an exciting, if challenging, time, for Congress, the media, and the public as each attempts to sort out the new media environment and employ it to its advantage. Using a comprehensive analysis of previous research, dozens of interviews, and the inclusion of empirical data, this book assesses the current status of the relationship between Congress and the media and sorts out the temporary changes from those likely to represent future trends. Whether one is associated with Congress, is an interested citizen, or is part of the media industry, understanding the relationships and developments between and among them is key to understanding how the public behaves in relation to Congress, and vice versa.

Описание:
In 2006, Barack Obama wrote that the 'framework of our constitution' is designed 'to force us into a "deliberative democracy" in which all citizens are required to engage in a process of testing their ideas against an external reality, persuading others of their point of view'.
His statement is just one of the many examples of the contemporary relevance of deliberative democracy. But where does this model come from? When was it born and how did it develop?
Starting from the 1980s, this book provides the first, complete history of the idea of deliberative democracy, analysing its relationship with the earlier idea, and practices, of participatory democracy in the 1960s and 1970s.
The author provides a lucid and detailed analysis of the texts and authors that have contributed to this theoretical field and, in the final chapter, proposes a possible guiding map of today's complex deliberative field, in its present configuration.
'The deliberative model of democracy has become very important in political science. As yet there is no systematic analysis of how this field emerged in the 1980s and 1990s. Antonio Floridia fills this lacuna in a superb way. His book is critical, differentiated, and thoroughly researched. It is of the highest scholarly quality. It is well organized and clearly written so that it can also be used as a textbook for classes in democratic theory.' JUrg Steiner, professor emeritus, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and University of Bern
'Antonio Floridia's book is an exquisite, most needed and truly original contribution to the understanding of deliberative democracy starting from its theoretical genealogy: its first theoretical formulations, the reasons behind its elaboration, and the conceptual (but also historical and political) core that can be found throughout its development and further articulation. Floridia's comparison with the idea and practice of participatory democracy is pivotal and with two main goals: to achieve a more complete critical and historical reconstruction and to contribute to an ongoing theoretical and political debate on two adjectives (participatory and deliberative) that are frequently used to describe democracy and yet often left indeterminate or, worse, mistaken for one another. Thanks to Floridia's book, deliberative democracy becomes an object of both the history of idea and the theoretical reflection on the status of our actual democracies.' Nadia Urbinati, Columbia University
'A most welcome, timely and long overdue reconstruction of the birth of deliberative democracy from the rib of participatory democracy, much needed in the difficult times ahead. Floridia's brilliant narrative will inspire many, may teach something to many more, it is of interest to everyone.' Alessandro Ferrara, University of Rome Tor Vergata
'This book should become a classic in the field. As the importance of deliberation in democracy becomes increasingly widely recognized, citizens and scholars alike will want to understand more about the genesis of the ideas of "deliberative democracy" and what those ideas imply. Based on careful research into the nooks and crannies of the intellectual evolution of these ideas, this book will stand for a long time as the definitive treatment of this history.' Jane Mansbridge, Harvard University
