American Government: Institutions and Policies

Acclaimed for the scholarship of its prominent authors and the clarity of its narrative, American Government sets the standard for public policy coverage while maintaining focus on three fundamental topics: the institutions of American government; the historical development of governmental procedures, actors, and policies; and who governs in the United States and to what end.Proven pedagogical features involve students in the material, including chapter outlines, suggested web links for research, and How Things Work boxes that summarize basic information and important facts.
