| Synopsis: |
This second edition of the best-selling textbook "US Politics Today" offers a new and updated introduction to contemporary US government and politics. The book considers core institutions, including the presidency, Congress, and the Supreme Court. It assesses important questions and controversies and places them within the broader context of American society and culture. Has our understanding of the Constitution remained faithful to the intentions of the 'founding fathers' who wrote it? Is there still a separation of powers or has the president become too powerful? Do judges play too much of a role? Are the parties too weak and divided? Has Congress been 'bought' by lobbyists?This edition has been rewritten to incorporate coverage of events that have taken place since 1999. It examines the 2000 presidential election and recent Supreme Court rulings as well as the ways in which the 'war on terrorism' has affected the character of the political process. There is also a new chapter that assesses the most important political issues facing the US today. The book will prove invaluable for undergraduates, A-level students, and the general reader. |
