内容説明
The new and extensively revised third edition of the classic The Presidency A to Z gives students and citizens an invaluable tool to understand and appraise the changes that have rocked the nation and its presidency. In the early years of the new century, Americans-and the American presidency-are witnessing a challenge not seen since the Great Depression and World War II, casting the role and powers of the president in a stark new light. The presidency has experienced startling jolts since the last edition was published in 1998. In 2002, voters witnessed an acrimonious election, finally settled by the Supreme Court, in which George W. Bush went into the White House even though he got fewer votes than his opponent. Less than a year later, devastating terrorists attacks on American soil transformed Bush's presidency, creating previously unheard of national security concerns and launching a global war on terrorism. Concurrently, the new administration pushed toward a radically different American foreign policy that seemed to set the United States apart from long-term allies.
The Presidency A to Z, Third Edition, examines these and other developments in the institution that holds the only nationally elected official, a person to whom most citizens look to in threatening times. Like its acclaimed predecessors, the new edition provides readers with a quick-information guide to the presidency through a comprehensive, alphabetical encyclopedia of over 300 easy-to-read entries.
