Matthews: The folkways of the Senate

Disclaimer. Don't rely on these old notes in lieu of reading the literature, but they can jog your memory. As a grad student long ago, my peers and I collaborated to write and exchange summaries of political science research. I posted them to a wiki-style website. "Wikisum" is now dead but archived here. I cannot vouch for these notes' accuracy, nor can I say who wrote them.

Matthews. 1973. The folkways of the Senate. in Classics in Congressional Politics.

Using an inductive method similar to Fenno's famous "soak and poke," Matthews seeks to discover the norms that govern Senate behavior. For a more contextual discussion of this study, see notes on Weisberg et al. (1999).
