Publisher's Synopsis
For courses in American Government
Learn how American politics affects public policyRevel(TM) Government in America: People, Politics, and Policy takes a public-policy approach to show how politics influences the policies that governments produce. Authors George Edwards, Martin Wattenberg, and William Howell provide a framework for students to understand the difficult questions that decision makers of both political parties are facing: how should we govern and what should government do? By emphasizing the scope of government -- the key issue in American politics today -- the authors help students see how politics matters in their own lives. The 2018 Elections and Updates Edition offers new narrative coverage of the major issues from today's headlines including the 2018 midterm elections, recent policy under the Trump administration, and the nomination of Brett Kavanaugh to the Supreme Court.
This digital package includes Revel California Government and Politics Today, 15th Edition, allowing instructors to easily integrate coverage of California government and politics into the American Government survey course. Focusing on California's ethnic and cultural diversity as well as the global economy's impact on California (and vice versa), author Mona Field explains California's ever-changing political situation in the context of social and economic trends.
