Summary
More comprehensive and thematically rich than any other reader available the Fourth Edition is designed for instructors who want an American politics reader that can supplement any text. This comprehensive volume includes up-to-date readings that correspond to the most frequently assigned chapters of American government texts and expand students' understanding and knowledge of how the American system works. Selections fall into four categories--classical/constitutional, historical, comparative, and contemporary--providing a range of perspectives that expand student understanding and knowledge of the U.S. governmental system. Over 50% of the selections reflect recent developments in American politics, including the war on terrorism and the elections of 2000 and 2002. Expanded International Context selections provide a global perspective on US politics.
