Government in America: People, Politics and Policy shows how politics influences the policies that shape American society. The authors provide a framework for understanding the difficult questions that decision makers of both political parties are facing: how should we govern and what should government do? By examining the scope of government, the authors help you see how politics matters in your own life.
The 19th Edition has been updated to reflect recent changes, some of a historic magnitude, in politics, policy and participation. Topics covered include the 2024 presidential and congressional elections, recent Supreme Court decisions, and current policies on immigration, budgeting, environmental protection and more.
