The new edition helps students learn what makes American government and politics distinctive and encourages them to see why it has endured for over 200 years. By presenting American government within a comprehensive comparative and global framework, the book exposes students to global issues and helps them to grow in cross-cultural understanding, while at the same time giving them a solid foundation in American government and politics.
