Una lección magistral sobre las bases de la política norteamericana.

El sistema institucional de Estados Unidos, uno de los más admirados del mundo, lleva tiempo dando señales de mal funcionamiento. Las hostilidades políticas tuvieron como resultado la presidencia de Donald Trump y la irrupción de una turba tan pintoresca como peligrosa en el Capitolio durante el intento de golpe de Estado del 6 de enero de 2021. Sin embargo, los problemas se acumulaban desde hacía décadas y continúan después, como observa en este lúcido ensayo Josep Colomer, el politólogo español de mayor prestigio internacional. El diseño institucional de la potencia norteamericana, basado en la separación de poderes entre el Congreso y la Presidencia con solo dos partidos, crea incentivos perversos para el antagonismo y el surgimiento de encarnizadas rivalidades políticas y territoriales. Solo frente a un enemigo exterior que se aparezca como una amenaza existencial, como ocurrió durante la Segunda Guerra Mundial y la Guerra Fría, se contienen las fracturas internas y se apartan los temas conflictivos que las instituciones no pueden resolver con éxito y de forma duradera. Trascendiendo las anécdotas más o menos coloridas, La polarización política en Estados Unidos es un análisis brillante y desapasionado de las raíces de la mayor paradoja de las democracias occidentales: el deterioro de la eficacia de los gobernantes genera una creciente crispación de la escena política.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

In this book, Josep M. Colomer argues, against much conventional wisdom, that political polarization is embedded in the constitutional design.

The book puts forth that sustained conflict and institutional gridlock are not mainly questions of character, personalities or determined by socioeconomic or cultural inequalities. They are, above all, the result of the formula of separation of powers between the Presidency and Congress, which, together with a system of only two parties, fosters adversarial politics and polarization. Colomer contends that in the past, bipartisan cooperation and domestic peace flourished only under a foreign existential threat, such as during the Cold War. Once such a threat vanished, unsettled issues and new social concerns have broadened the public agenda and triggered again animosity and conflict.

Constitutional Polarization offers innovative and relevant insights in political science to a broad readership without technical or academic jargon. It will be of high interest for those attentive to current affairs, as well as for public officers, journalists, pundits, and those in the study of political scientists, where it can also become a staple for courses in American Politics.

Does not block RFID scanners
Does not block RFID scanners. I literally scan my badge into work every day through it. Other than that, they are nice wallets, but only last about 3 years before the leather starts crumbling off. This is the second one I have bought. 2 Stars because they only last about 3 years and does not block RFID scanning as advertised.

Nice Wallet
Size: One Size, Color: Black
This is a pretty nice wallet, although calling it 'minimalist' might be a stretch. With the availability of Apple Pay and others, and the decline of cash, there is no longer a need to carry all your credit cards and money in your pocket. There is also a trend to allow you to put a legal image of your Drivers License on your phone. So as a result, wallets are getting smaller and thinner. This wallet attempts to achieve that, but actually I could do without the cash pocket and also the completely unnecessary fold out flap for your drivers license. I thought this flap could just be slipped out of the wallet, but it's actually sewn into the top of the card seam. When I received the wallet, I carefully cut off the flap above the seam, along with a ridiculous number of sewn-in tags in multiple languages, and this worked out pretty well. I can carry this wallet in my front pocket fairly easily. So for the price, I am pretty satisfied. Prior to this I was using a card case with 4 slots which I may go back to at some point. I'd have to say that unlike this wallet, the card case is truly minimalist.
