About This Event

On October 27, the Transition to Governing Project held a book forum on The Permanent Campaign and Its Future, which is the first comprehensive scholarly examination of how the line between campaigning and governing has become blurred. Eleven of our most preeminent political scientists have written about the rise of polling, how the media covers governing as a campaign, how organized interests campaign for legislation, how the money chase affects governing, and how Congress and the White House have adopted new procedures and built new institutions to wage a permanent campaign.
