See who gets what, when and how, in American politics
Politics in America introduces students to the political struggles that drive democracy, examining the participants, the stakes, the processes, and the institutional arenas that comprise the power game of American politics. This pragmatic text is built around power and elite-mass conflict, and written from a centrist perspective. Using one of the classic definitions of politics - "who gets what, when and how" - as their unifying framework, authors Keith Gaddie and Thomas Dye focus on conflict and controversy, challenging students to think and talk about hot-button issues as they learn the basics of American government. The 2018 Elections and Updates Edition offers new narrative coverage of the major issues from today's headlines including the 2018 midterm elections, recent policy under the Trump administration, and the nomination of Brett Kavanaugh to the Supreme Court.
