Mo Fiorina and Paul Peterson's groundbreaking American government text, which emphasizes the impact of electoral forces, is now available in a brief, highly affordable Penguin Academic Series edition.
Longman is proud to announce the Penguin Academic Series edition of Fiorina & Peterson's America's New Democracy. The Penguin Academic Series, in the tradition of Penguin Publishers, offers accessibly written, elegantly designed and highly affordable trade-format books by pre-eminent scholars with distinctive voices. Featuring new co-author D. Stephen Voss, America's New Democracy: The Permanent Campaign addresses the recent, fundamental shift in the way American government functions. The accessibility of instant public opinion polls, the Internet, and the ubiquitous nature of the news media-all of which the authors use to demonstrate that America is moving toward a more popular democracy-have blurred the lines between campaigning and governing. Politicians today are constantly engaged in the campaign process-a "permanent campaign"-that has affected how our government functions in profound ways. Focusing on electoral forces, America's New Democracy: The Permanent Campaign offers a stimulating, analytical approach to American government that engages readers as it gives them a unique understanding of their political system as it exists today.
