Full Description
"Understanding American Government, International Edition" is highly respected and trusted for its attention to research and issues of diversity, as well as for its award-winning team of authors. While covering the foundations and features of American government, this text also moves beyond the nuts and bolts to explain why and how important features of government have evolved, their impact on government and individuals, and why these features are controversial (if they are) and worth learning. More than just narrating facts and current issues, "Understanding American Government, International Edition" leaves students with an understanding of the 'why', so their knowledge can be applied long after the course is completed. "Understanding American Government" is a three-time winner of the American Government Textbook Award for the Best Treatment of Women in Politics, by the Women's Caucus for Political Science.
