For courses in introductory American Government.
This text uses Harold Laswell's classic definition of politics-"Who gets what, when and how"-as a framework for presenting a clear, concise, and stimulating introduction to the American political system. Completely up-to-date, with results and analysis from Election 2000, this lively and absorbing narrative examines the struggle for power-the participants, the stakes, the processes and the institutional arena. A brief paperback text gives the students concepts and background, while guiding them through an abundance of interactive features that explore timely issues and opinions, draw cross-cultural comparisons, and introduce important people.
