Democratic politics are widely believed to be growing more contentious, reflected in a rise of hyper-partisan politics, in-group-out-group polarization, and growing support for the populist right. But how does this shift compare to electoral politics in previous eras, and how can we explain long-run changes in voting patterns? Join us for a discussion on the strategic interplay between government policies and voter value orientations.
