State of American Politics

Informationen zum Autor Edited by Byron E. Shafer - Contributions by James A. Barnes; Michael Barone; Michael G. Hagen; Kathleen Hall Jamieson; Richard Johnston; Charles O. Jones; David R. Mayhew; William Schneider and Martin M. Shapiro Klappentext Election 2000: Aberration or paradigm? The essays in this innovative volume combining scholarly and journalistic views, seek to place the extraordinary events of the 2000 presidential election into context with the trends of electoral politics before and after. Originally presented as a series of public lectures at Oxford University, this volume benefits from an international perspective, a stellar lineup of contributors, and a remarkably cohesive analysis that lays the election results (and thus, the current state of American politics) at the feet of a persistent American cultural divide.
