Publisher's Synopsis
For courses in American Government
Learn how American politics affects public policyRevel(TM) Government in America: People, Politics, and Policy takes a public-policy approach to show how politics influences the policies that governments produce. Authors George Edwards, Martin Wattenberg, and William Howell provide a framework for students to understand the difficult questions that decision makers of both political parties are facing: how should we govern and what should government do? By emphasizing the scope of government -- the key issue in American politics today -- the authors help students see how politics matters in their own lives. The 2018 Elections and Updates Edition offers new narrative coverage of the major issues from today's headlines including the 2018 midterm elections, recent policy under the Trump administration, and the nomination of Brett Kavanaugh to the Supreme Court.
This digital package includes Revel Government and Politics in the Lone Star State, 11th Edition, allowing instructors to easily integrate coverage of Texas government and politics into the American Government survey course. Guiding students through the historical, economic, demographic, and political environment that has made Texas government and political culture what it is, authors Tucker Gibson, Clay Robison, and Joanne Connor Green explain Texas's governmental institutions, the players who influence them, and how these factors compare to those in other states.
