First published in 1990, Explaining American Politics looks at substantial and specific problems in American politics. Focusing on the key issues in contemporary American government, the contributors give lively and provocative interpretations of controversial topics such as the New Right, perceptions of the Presidency, the alleged irresponsibility of Congress, the workings of bureaucracy, Supreme Court activism, and the decline of political parties. This book will be indispensable to all students of American politics as well as to the reader who wants to understand what is really happening in the world’s most complex and fascinating political system.
