The book answers a real need for beginning students. It examines for the
first time in a single volume how America s governing institutions work,
how domestic and foreign policies operate, and controversial issues such
as capital punishment, gun control, abortion, and gay rights.
The book explores all the elements involved in US politics courses,
clearly setting out the main areas of debate: the foundations and
principles of modern politics, the structure of US institutions, how
domestic and foreign public policies are decided, and the nature of
contemporary controversies. A summary chapter focuses specifically on
the impact of September
11
on US policy at home and abroad, and
explains the global significance of recent events. The book presents the
evidence and debates the topics in a coherent and accessible way, giving
both detailed analysis and useful surveys of all the essential topics.
Governing America offers innovative aids to learning, including:
