The Logic of American Politics

Description

Now featuring the logic of policymaking! Praised for its engaging narrative,
The Logic of American Politics hooks students with great storytelling while
giving them a taste of real political science. Students come to understand why
institutional design concepts like voting rules and delegation help explain
why the American political system works the way it does. The authors build
students′ critical thinking skills through a simple yet powerful idea:
politics is about solving collective action problems. The Seventh Edition
continues to delve into partisan differences among voters and in government,
exploring issues such as the Affordable Care Act’s troubled implementation,
the increasing legalization of marijuana and same-sex marriage in the states,
and the debate over President Obama’s executive action on immigration. A new
concluding chapter on policymaking examines the noticeable logic that guides
American policy, as shown through policies like health care reform, global
climate change, and the federal budget. Read more
