Recenzii
“Unorthodox
Lawmakingdoes
an
excellent
job
of
synthesizing
the
legislative
process
in
each
chamber.
I
have
not
found
another
book
on
the
market
that
so
clearly
addresses
the
differences
like
this
one
does.”
“Unorthodox Lawmakingis a superb foundational text, exploring well-researched variations in lawmaking in ways that are not typically found in other academic resources. It is one of the best examinations of legislative practices available the academic market. Sinclair uses robust research to uncover and analyze the complexities of lawmaking in comprehensible ways. This text is a go-to resource for information about U.S. legislative practices.”
“Barbara Sinclair does an excellent job of showing how contemporary lawmaking departs from the traditional legislative process. I can't imagine teaching a course on Congress without this text—it’s absolutely indispensable.”
“Unorthodox Lawmakingdoes a great job of using contemporary examples to provide an in-depth look at the complicated and highly politicized process that defines how a bill becomes a law in modern Congress.”
“Unorthodox Lawmakingputs the transformation of the lawmaking process in Congress into context, documenting specific changes that have occurred and providing an argument for precisely why they took place. Sinclair illustrates the use of these new techniques in a way that keeps students interested.”
“Unorthodox Lawmakingis a great read, with a strong foundation about Congress as an institution. Sinclair strikes a balance between general statements and nuance, and demonstrates how complicated the policy process has become. Yet she doesn't leave the reader without some general take-away points about how the process deviates from traditional textbook explanations.”
“My students have enjoyed readingUnorthodox Lawmakingmore than most of the other assigned texts. Sinclair’s writing makes the material approachable and helps precipitate lively discussions.”
“The concept and content ofUnorthodox Lawmakingfrom the very beginning is well done. Sinclair’s use of case studies to illustrate the shift from ‘traditional’ to ‘unorthodox’ processes is impressive.”
“Unorthodox Lawmakingis straightforward and to-the-point. Sinclair does an excellent job of covering the primary topics, and the examples of unorthodox lawmaking are equally as good. I have used this text myself since reading the second edition.”
