Updated with new readings on the war in Iraq, the war on terror, the frontloaded nomination process, and President Bush’s place in history, the new edition of this popular reader gives students the analytical tools needed to make sense of the modern presidency and its relationship with other key players in our political system. The selections in this reader were chosen with two aims in mind: (1) to provide a historical perspective, so often neglected in similar texts, that explains how the events of the past two centuries led us to where we are today, and (2) to present the most important current issues that are shaping the Bush administration and the presidency more broadly. This collection of readings offers students a combination of “classic” scholarly analyses, the best of current scholarship, and engaging insights into the nature of the contemporary presidency.

Congress against itself

American politics is always controversial, filled with debates, arguments, even protests over what the government should or should not do, whether politicians are right or wrong, whether taxes are too high or too low, or whether some part of the government should be organized this way or that way.

A more perfect union: Introduction to American Government (The Dorsey series in political science)

Ripley, Randall B.

Patterson, Samuel C.

Dorsey Press

"The Postreform Congress" comprises 15 original essays that address different aspects of contemporary legislative politics in America. Written specifically for a student audience, the essays are contributed by policy analysts, presidential and parties scholars, formal theorists and voting analysts. The essays discuss a variety of institutional and policy areas and they illustrate a wide range of methodologies and viewpoints as well. They are, however, unified by a common theme: they all reflect the fact that Congress has changed dramatically since the reform upheavals of the 1960s and 1970s - that, as a result of adapting to the "cut-back politics" of the past decade, Congress now displays heightened partisanship, tighter processing of legislation and stronger leadership. The author is co-author - with Walter J. Oleszek - of "Congress and its Members, Third Edition" and - with Samuel Patterson and Randall Ripley of "A More Perfect Union: An Introduction to American Governments, Fourth Edition", co-editor of "The Encyclopedia of the United States Congress" and author of "The Role of the Congressman".

This popular and completely updated reader is the only comprehensive reader on the American Presidency that is also accessible and engaging for undergraduate students. The editors culled the reading selections with several aims in mind: to include the historical perspective so often neglected in similar texts; to provide developmental views that explain how what happened over the past two centuries got us where we are today; and to present important current issues that are engaging the presidency during the Bush administration. Some articles are "classic" scholarly analyses, some represent the best of current scholarship, and some are engaging insights into the nature of the contemporary presidency.
