Publisher's Synopsis
Focusing on electoral forces, The New American Democracy offers a stimulating, analytical approach that gives students a unique understanding of their political system as it exists today.
Undoubtedly one of the most respected texts in the field, the Fourth Edition of this text broadens its electoral focus to encompass full coverage of the 2004 Election. With a December release, the content will be completely updated, including such timely topics on the election results, and Middle East Foreign Policy.
A new elegant, streamlined format and design will visibly reflect the analytical approach and rational choice perspective. To focus on pertinent features and return to the true focus of the book, several features have been absolved, returning the text to its core strength.
The addition of two new co-authors bring more coverage in certain key areas-Bertram Johnson with expertise in InterGovernmental Relations, and D. Stephen Voss, a former journalist and race relations scholar.
