Description
The second edition of the best-selling textbook US politics today has been rewritten to incorporate coverage of events that have taken place since 1999, offering a new and updated introduction to contemporary US government and politics. It examines the 2000 presidential election and recent Supreme Court rulings as well as the ways in which the 'war on terror' 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 be invaluable for undergraduates, A-level students, and all those with an interest in the American political system. -- .
