The study of the United States using the methods of Sovietology/Kremlinology—treating Washington D.C. as a foreign capital whose inner workings are opaque, ritualized, and driven by hidden power networks. Columbiaology analyzes congressional procedures, executive orders, Supreme Court signals, and the revolving door between government and corporations as clues to a system that presents itself as transparent but is anything but. It pays attention to who sits on which committees, who funds which campaigns, and what language signals loyalty to which faction. The name plays on the personification of America as Columbia.
