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"},{"product_id":"emotions-on-our-screens-by-yanna-krupnikov-9781009613637","title":"Emotions on Our Screens","description":"\u003cdiv class=\"book-description\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhile scholars have long considered how political messages make people feel, changes in the media environment have given people unprecedented access to the expressed emotions of others. Through both contemporary news stories and social media, people now learn how others – often strangers – feel about political events.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eDo people believe in the sincerity of these expressed emotions? To answer this question, we turn to expressions about one of the most pressing issues of our time: climate change.
