Description
Thoroughly updated through the 2020 election, Janda/Berry/Goldman/Schildkraut/Manna's THE CHALLENGE OF DEMOCRACY: AMERICAN GOVERNMENT IN GLOBAL POLITICS, 15th edition, explores how the clash of values surrounding freedom, order and equality characterize U.S. politics. It illustrates tensions between majoritarian and pluralist views of democracy across the political landscape and examines how U.S. political institutions and outputs compare to those in other countries. It also highlights the fragility of American democracy, the importance of norms in shaping how provisions of the Constitution work in practice and the ways that white supremacy have influenced political outcomes. New coverage includes the Trump administration, the COVID-19 pandemic, the rise of fake news, debates about healthcare reform, the impact of social media on political activity, gun control, immigration politics, and more.
