Description
Written by three leading experts, Politics USA is the complete introduction to politics and government in the USA. Divided into eight parts, the book examines the US political system from an historical and institutional framework, discussing both the mechanics of American government and domestic and foreign policy. The text moves from examination of the constitutional and historical foundations of US government, through the representative process, to a discussion of the legislative, executive and judicial system. A further section deals in depth with several key policy studies. Each section is packed with pedagogical features and the book is attractively designed. This is the definitive textbook on American studies.
