Full Description
Providing the tools for critical thinking, the sixth edition of Analyzing American Democracy: Politics and Political Science relies on statistical analysis, constitutional scholarship, and theoretical foundations to introduce the structure, process, and outcomes of the U.S. political system. Fully updated with coverage on the 2024 presidential election and its aftermath, the book explores historic and contemporary trends in U.S government including political polarization at all levels, the impact of media on public opinion, the ever-expanding power of the executive branch, shifts in economic and foreign policy, and challenges to civil rights and liberties.
For introductory courses in American government, this text enables students, scholars, and activists to evaluate the political landscape of the United States through a lens of social justice.
