By Ronald Reagan Coalition politics, that staple of American life for decades, has been undergoing so many sea changes in recent times that it was inevitable that someone would publish a guidebook to these roiling waters. "Emerging Coalitions in American Policitcs," by twenty-three political scien­ tists, historians and of­ ficeholders assembled by the Institute for Contemporary Studies, is such a book. Though it won't satisfy anyone who wants a moneyback guarantee of what the American political future holds, "Emerging Coalitions" has many useful clues as to what's been happening and what might happen to the ship of state. Davids Broder, the Washington Post columnist, traces the basic reason for coalition politics: "In a society whose bedrock ideals include both the dignity of the indivudal and the rule of the majority, it was close to inevitable that the politics would rest on the ability to build coalitions," But, he says, "...old techniques of coalition-building are no longer adequate or effective. If one is pressed to say why those techniques no longer work, one would have to guess, in the broadest terms, that it is because the individualistic instincts in this society have now become much more powerful in our politics than the majoritarian impluse." Possibly linked to this tip in the balance between in- d i v i d u a l i s m a n d majoritarianism is the shift in the upper status levels of American society. Scholar- writer Michael Novak notes that "During the past 10 years, the Democratic party has come to win the larger share of the votes of the wealthy and the better educated." He notes that when the "upper class" was Republican, "wealth was then protected from government intrusion; it is now dependent on it." The point by Novak leads to ah opportunity for the Republicans to swing the pendulum To the extent that the highly educated, affluent levels of society are com­ fortable with government in­ trusion they tend to affect Democratic party policy. This leads to splits in the traditional Democratic coalitions. Novak writes, "A serious class division treatens... to split the Democratic party. The so- called 'turn to the right', worried about by certain writers on the left, seems ac­ tually to be composed of voters who believe in the old creed of the labor left: jobs, growth, discipline, production. Among such voters there is a tax­ payers' revolt on the one hand, and a revolt against suburban morality on the other." The country club image for the Republicans should be as extinct as the dodo bird, but it isn't - yet. California Sen. S.I. Hayakawa says, "Some of this image is perpetuated when conferences are held at the most expensive hotels, and when fund-raising dinners cost $500 a plate. Why don't we instead have little dinners with ethnic groups at, say, the Slovenian hail in San Francisco for $8.95 a plate?" Ben Wattenberg, active in Democratic politics for many years (now a senior fellow at the American Enterprise in­ stitute) and author of "The Real America," argues spiritedly for two new coalitions (presumably to be SEE > • • • • B E F O R E Y O U B U Y .

He calls the first Vigorous Economic Growth (VEG). Scorning "the environmental mentality" of anti-growth, he says,"AbundAnce-lo vers of the world unite!" He identifies them as Labor, Business and Poor People. About the last group he says, "If we have learned anything .from the economics of the last fifteen years it is this: the best poverty program is a vigorously ex­ panding economy." His foreign policy coalition he calls Neo-Anticommunism He says, "...theonly true foil to the Soviet Union, the only guarantor of the survival of freedom, is the only free superpower, the United States." He'll need a lot of luck to put his ideas over in the New Politics climate of isolationism and anti-growth which has a disproportionate hold on the Democratic party. In fact, I think he'd find a congenial welcome for his ideas in the Republican party today. Seymour Martin Lipset, the Hoover Institution-Stanford university political scientist, who served as editor for "Emerging Coalitons", seems to think the Republicans have an opportunity. He says they should look at 1896, the last time they "were able to recruit to the GOP ethnic, religious and working-class elements who previously had been voting Democratic. But they were only able to do so because the Democrats had been captured by an ideological populist tendency led by William PAGE 19 • PL AINDE ALER Jennings Bryan, whose positions and values alienated traditional Democrats."
