Publisher's Synopsis
In the new edition of this popular and accessible brief text, the highly lauded politics matters focus has been expanded and refined so that more than ever, instructors can depend upon Government in America to engage students in the study of our political system.
Politics matters is a natural outgrowth of the text's long-standing emphasis on public policy: by emphasizing policy throughout, the authors illustrate to students the ways in which government has a direct impact on their lives and encourage them to see why course material is so important to study and understand. A variety of text features - including "Making a Difference," the new "How You Can Make a Difference," and "You Are the Policymaker" - underscore the politics matters theme and personalize our political system. Further engaging students, the Brief Sixth Edition features complete coverage and analysis of the historic 2000 Presidential election and the controversies and issues stemming from it.
