Riassunto

America's New Democracy is written with the needs of today's college undergraduate student foremost in mind. Employing a thoughtful, storytelling style with an emphasis on the "bottom line," this text focuses on the central role that elections and electoral incentives play in America's political system. The elections theme links every chapter, providing a valuable, unified framework for learning about American government.
