Now many fear that strong partisan views, particularly hostility to the opposing party, are damaging democracy. Is partisanship as dangerous as we fear it is?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eTo provide an answer, \u003cem\u003ePartisan Hostility and American Democracy\u003c\/em\u003e offers a nuanced evaluation of when and how partisan animosity matters in today's highly charged, dynamic political environment, drawing on panel data from some of the most tumultuous years in recent American history, 2019 through 2021. The authors show that partisanship powerfully shapes political behaviours, but its effects are conditional, not constant. Instead, it is most powerful when politicians send clear signals and when an issue is unlikely to bring direct personal consequences. In the absence of these conditions, other factors often dominate decision-making.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe authors argue that while partisan hostility has degraded US politics—for example, politicising previously non-political issues and undermining compromise—it is not in itself an existential threat. As their research shows, the future of American democracy depends on how politicians, more than ordinary voters, behave.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Unknown","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47471331213548,"sku":"9780226833675","price":56.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/9780226833675-partisan-hostility-and-american-democracy.jpg?v=1775239862"}],"url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/collections\/yanna-krupnikov.oembed","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
