Redistricting and Representation
Author: Thomas Brunell
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1135925216
Category : Political Science
Languages : en
Pages : 158
Book Description
Pundits have observed that if so many incumbents are returned to Congress to each election by such wide margins, perhaps we should look for ways to increase competitiveness – a centerpiece to the American way of life – through redistricting. Do competitive elections increase voter satisfaction? How does voting for a losing candidate affect voters’ attitudes toward government? The not-so-surprising conclusion is that losing voters are less satisfied with Congress and their Representative, but the implications for the way in which we draw congressional and state legislative districts are less straightforward. Redistricting and Representation argues that competition in general elections is not the sine qua non of healthy democracy, and that it in fact contributes to the low levels of approval of Congress and its members. Brunell makes the case for a radical departure from traditional approaches to redistricting – arguing that we need to "pack" districts with as many like-minded partisans as possible, maximizing the number of winning voters, not losers.

Handbook of North American Indians
Author: U S Office of the Federal Register
Publisher: Office of External Relations
ISBN: 9780160928116
Category : Law
Languages : en
Pages : 380
Book Description
The Handbook of North American Indians series--the most monumental summary of knowledge on indigenous peoples of the USA, Canada, and Northern Mexico--was designed by the staff of the National Museum of Natural History (NMNH) Department of Anthropology in the 1960s and, in 2022, culminates with Volume 1, edited by Igor Krupnik. Involving more than 70 contributors from the United States, Canada, Mexico, the United Kingdom, and Germany, including indigenous contributors from across North America, the volume's 35 chapters and more than 7,400 bibliography entries, Volume 1 presents new perspectives on the history of North America's indigenous societies, issues facing North American indigenous communities in the 21st century, a thorough update of the studies of Native American indigenous peoples, and the first-ever history of the Handbook project. Volume 1 is an innovative collection of new contributions written in 2015-2017 and is organized in five sections that reflect the series' three-pronged mission: to look forward, to update and assess developments in Native American research, and to account for the history of the Handbook initiative and its legacy. With Volume 1, the Handbook of North American Indians series concludes.
