The new edition takes in the many changes which have occurred in US
politics and explores the ‘political and ideological
polarization’ which some commentators see as a significant
characteristic of US politics and society today. With two new
chapters on environmental politics and the presidency it provides
an up-to-date survey of the views and criticisms of leading
political commentators.
It also includes commentary of the 2008 presidential election, with the historic election of Barack Obama, and issues such as the changing balance of support for the Democrats and Republicans and the recent decline in the global reputation of the United States. It has been packed full with illustrations and pedagogical features, including definition boxes, biographies, chronologies, and more controversies than before.
