Description
This edition offers 16 new assessments of the issues commonly affecting American political debate. It covers domestic policy and representation - the challenge of changing expectations; government and governance - the demand for reinvention; and issues in the international sphere - America in a redefined world. Themes covered include women in politics, health, the deficit, media and political parties, local government, the federal courts, the Congress and the Presidency, and US foreign policy in the new era of multipolar international disorder.
