OverviewMidterm elections have forced presidents to adjust course, reshaped their relationship with the party they lead, and heralded the rise or fall of new electoral coalitions. This book presents a fresh perspective on the American presidency by analysing how midterms modify in crucial ways the mandate that a president gained at the time of their election to the White House. Midterms not only provide an important opportunity for voters to evaluate the record of a president so far, but also have consequences for an administration's pursuit of the president's agenda over the two years that follow. Bringing together political scientists and historians, this collection presents a multidisciplinary understanding of the interplay between midterm elections and the American presidency.Patrick Andelic is Senior Lecturer in American History at Northumbria University.

Table of ContentsReviews"Mid-term elections are one of many features of U.S. political democracy that make it hard for elected officials to evade the enervating politics of the 'permanent campaign'. In this sprightly collection of essays, an able group of historians and political scientists show that as well as diminishing presidential authority (their most familiar effect) mid-term elections have frequently exposed deeper and more important currents of political continuity and change.-- ""Gareth Davies, University College London"" Political scientists in the United States who study American politics are familiar with the theory of surge and decline. [...] The editors of Midterms and Mandates bring that analysis closer to ground level.--J. Twombly ""CHOICE"" [...] by diving mindfully into past midterms, the analyses and case studies offered by Midterms and Mandates give us a clear roadmap for how to consider midterms of the future.--Charles Hunt ""Party Politics""" Author InformationMark Mclay, Lecturer in American History, University of Glasgow.
