International scholars assess government, politics, and policy in the US, focusing on trends of the 1990s. Part I concentrates on the institutional framework of American government, and Part II examines parties, pressure groups, and the electoral system and the ways in which these forces shape public opinion and the political agenda. Part III surveys economic, social, and foreign policy, and Part IV provides brief overviews of controversial issues such as affirmative action and education. Part V assesses the state of American politics at the century's end. This edition contains all new material. Annotation c. by Book News, Inc., Portland, Or.
