Publisher Description: Written by a leading textbook author with a background in American foreign policy and international relations, America's Politics is the first introductory American government text with a theme of globalization and diversity. -Globalizing the curriculum- has become a mantra throughout APSA and the American university system, and -Demography is destiny- is also resonating widely from coast to coast. Addressing both of these trends, author John T. Rourke weaves them into the story of U.S. national government in a compact, affordable, and pedagogically rich text. FEATURES: * Tells the fascinating -story- of politics while also covering major theoretical political science approaches and controversies * Incorporates unique text boxes and insets: -You Decide, - -A World of Difference, - and -American Diversity- * Includes opening outlines, closing summaries, highlighted key terms, and glossaries for each chapter |
