AMERICAN POLITICS AND SOCIETYAMERICAN POLITICS AND SOCIETYThe tenth edition of this classic textbook on American politics offers comprehensive coverage of American political institutions and its political and policy culture while providing fresh insights concerning the nation's tumultuous political environment of the past decade.Thomas J. Scotto, Professor of Politics and Dean of Learning and Teaching, College of Social Sciences, University of GlasgowAmerican Politics and Society provides an up-to-date introduction and analysis of the US political scene written from a comparative perspective. Now in its tenth edition, this classic text describes the main institutions of the US federal government while discussing the most recent developments in broader economic and social contexts. Acclaimed author David McKay guides students through the intricacies of the American political system and addresses the widening ideological divide that now defines American political life and public discourse.America has experienced some of the most dramatic events in its history over the past several years, such as the COVID-19 pandemic, protests against racial and economic injustice, a bitterly contested 2020 presidential election, and a violent assault on the US Capitol. In this new edition, the author discusses the unprecedented changes in the political and social landscape of America while offering an international viewpoint on escalating ideological conflict, growing extremism in the Republican Party, arguments over the role of government, public expectations of politicians and political processes, and more.Written in an engaging, student-friendly style, the book contains a wealth of pedagogical features, including numerous illustrations, chronologies, biographies, key definitions, and discussion boxes highlighting important concepts and controversial issues. It provides valuable insight into the social-political past of the United States, and illuminates the latest trends in America's most turbulent period in living memory.
