Nonincremental Policy-Making Under Divided Party Control

Catherine E. Rudder

American Political Science Association

According to conventional wisdom, policy-making tends to be incremental in character except under conditions of united party control of the presidency and Congress and, in particular, after a critical or realigning election. The 1986 Tax Reform Act violates this expectation. This case study examines the act to understand its passage and develops an alternative to the party government model to explain innovative policy-making under conditions of divided party government.
