Description

Political scientist Alan I. Abramowitz examines the structural shifts in the American electorate that have led to increasing ideological divergence. By analyzing data on voter behavior and partisan alignment, the author argues that the decline of the political center is a direct result of heightened engagement among citizens, fundamentally altering the landscape of contemporary governance and democratic stability.
