| Description: |
Suitable for those who want to elicit a look at the functioning of our political system, this title outlines eight major challenges facing America as a new president takes office, ranging from the strength of the judiciary to the trade-offs between national security and personal privacy. |
| Synopsis: |
Most would agree that American democracy thrives when citizens are informed and responsive. So how best to teach today's students not only how government works, but also why it works-and maybe, more importantly, why it doesn't always work? Hudson provides the perfect supplement for those who want to elicit a more critical look at the functioning of our political system. He outlines eight major challenges facing America as a new president takes office, ranging from the strength of the judiciary to the trade-offs between national security and personal privacy. Challenging students to respond robustly to these challenges, he also offers possible solutions to each. The end result is to provide a sound conceptual framework for evaluating the American political system-one that stimulates analytical thinking and discussion. Timely updates examine elections and voting-specifically primaries and how they work, "machine" politics, and voting restrictions- and the national security state, with a focus on the Bush administration's expansion of presidential power, as well as questions of spreading democracy abroad and the rationale for international intervention. |
