There s simply nothing like this text on the market. McKay has been consistently
up to date in terms of dealing with the changes in US politics, up to the mark in
integrating the best scholarship on US politics and up to the job of meeting both
tutor and student demands. Authoritative, accessible and sophisticated, this book
has become an integral foundation for teaching US politics.
Paul Taggart, University of Sussex
This text is a lucid introduction to how American politics works but it offers so
much more by providing the social, economic and historical context that shapes
the American polity, allowing us to understand how politics changes in the United
States.
John
G
Francis, University of Utah
American Politics and Society is a clear and concise introduction to US politics which explains,
analyses and interprets the processes of US government and, crucially, appraises them from a
non-US perspective.
This completely revised new edition takes in the many changes which have occurred in recent
years and explores the political and ideological polarization which some commentators see
as a significant characteristic of US politics and society today. Engaging with such issues as the
rapidly changing balance of support for the Democrats and Republicans and the continuing
decline in the global reputation of the United States, the book provides an up-to-date survey of
the views and criticisms of leading political commentators, including commentary on the
2008
presidential election.
Written in an accessible style and packed with illustrations and pedagogical features, this
book offers a fresh look at the social background to American political and economic life, the
institutions and processes of government, and the most recent and dramatic events in the
political arena.
An accompanying website containing additional support for lecturers and students is available
at www.wiley.com/go/mckay
