"""Carson, Sievert, and Williamson develop a sophisticated, over-time approach to understanding the causes and consequences of nationalization in American politics. They show that nationalization is not an end point; rather, it is an equilibrium state that American politics has moved towards and away from at various times over the last two centuries. This is a smart, insightful book with deep consequences for making sense of American political history, contemporary politics, and what might happen next."" -- William Bianco, Professor of Political Science, Indiana University""Carson, Sievert, and Williamson take a deep dive into data spanning 180 years of electoral history to delineate, explain, and weigh the consequences of variations over time in the nationalization of American elections. Among other valuable insights, they remind us that the current level of nationalization is not unique. This empirically rich and timely volume will enlighten anyone interested in the evolution and current state of US electoral politics."" -- Gary Jacobson, Distinguished Emeritus Professor of Political Science, University of California, San Diego"
