Perspectives on American Politics Fifth Edition

William Lasser Clemson University


978-0-618-71915-0

A T H E M AT I C A LLY R I C H R E A DE R ,

Perspectives on American Politics organizes

up-to-date selections into four categories—

Foundations, American Politics Today,

Controversies, and View From the Inside.

This range of perspectives expands students’

understanding and knowledge of how the

American system works. The text’s thirteen

chapters correspond with the most frequently

assigned chapters of American Government

textbooks, making it an ideal supplement to

any core text.

Controversies in each chapter provide students

with different points of view on critical issues in

American politics, using either a pro/con set of

articles or a single balanced article. Both the

text and the Instructor’s Resource Manual

include ideas on how to use these articles to

structure class debates. With the addition of

this feature, the Fifth Edition presents a greater

number of readings directly related to the

introductory American Government course.

(Articles on international topics are interspersed

throughout the other sections as appropriate.)

THIS TEXT INVESTIGATES AND EVALUATES

the developing political processes in Russia,

Ukraine, Georgia, Lithuania, and Uzbekistan.

Students will come to understand the newly

formed political institutions in this region

through comparison with other established

democracies in Europe and North America,

historical overviews of the Tsarist and Soviet

periods, as well as summaries of socialist and

communist philosophies. Comparative case

studies explain the divergent paths taken

since the breakup of the Soviet Union and

cover topics such as constitutional structures

and the main institutions of government; the

nature of society and political culture; and

political participation and political parties.

This approach helps students understand how

decisions are actually made and how the

allocation of resources occurs—through the

intersections of politics, culture, the economy,

and international influences.

■ Pedagogy in the text includes a glossary of

key terms, critical-thinking questions,

and suggested readings and web links.

■ Photos, maps, tables, and feature boxes

provide additional information and bring

the regions to life.

introduction to the political systems of

post-World War II Great Britain, France,

Italy, Germany, Eastern Europe, and the

European Union.

Four key themes—economic management,

relationships between countries, the

challenges of democracy, and the political

impact of social diversity—illustrate the

concept of politics in transition within each

country and in the context of Europe as a

whole. One section is devoted to

examining how each country reacted to

the events of 9/11 and the war on terror,

both internally and in regard to relations

with the United States.

WRITTEN BY A GROUP OF DISTINGUISHED

comparativists, this innovative and accessible

introductory text surveys twelve key countries

organized by level of political development:

established democracies, transitional

democracies, and non-democracies. The

studies illuminate four comparative themes in

a global context: the world of states,

examining the interaction of states within the

international order; governing the economy,

covering the role of the state in economic

management; the democratic idea, discussing

the pressure for more democracy and the

challenges of democratization; and the

politics of collective identities, studying the

political impact of diverse attachments and

sources of group identity.

Clear prose makes this book accessible to

students with little or no background in

political science, and each chapter has a

data sheet of demographic, socioeconomic,

and political information to aid in

country comparisons.

politics and government from a political

science perspective, Politics in Latin America

focuses on three unifying themes central to

Latin America today—the challenges of

development, liberty, and governance.

The first four chapters provide a historical

overview and describe the importance of each

of these challenges; each of the seven country

studies discusses the challenges as they

pertain to that particular country. Through the

process of examining these three challenges,

the text considers their implications for the

future of democracy in the region.

■ New! Updated coverage of the

contemporary quests for development,

liberty, and governance includes the

dynamics of political backlash against

market-oriented economic policies, the

expansion of human rights investigations

and trials in several countries, and the

debate over “illiberal democracy” in Latin

America and around the world.

■ New! Topical coverage includes economic

and human rights policies in Argentina, an

analysis of the October 2006 elections in

Brazil, Michelle Bachelet’s presidency

following her January 2006 electoral victory,

and changes in Cuban political dynamics

following Fidel Castro’s 2006 illness.

■ New! Analysis of the recent presidential

campaign in Mexico includes an

examination of the protests led by Andrés

Manuel López Obrador following the July

2006 elections.

■ New! Expanded coverage of Hugo Chávez’s

presidency in Venezuela includes analyses

of the 2004 recall election and the 2005

legislative elections as well as an

examination of the December 2006

presidential elections.

■ New! The cross-national analysis of all Latin

American countries in Chapter 12—which

examines the relationship between

economic development, respect for liberty,

governance patterns, and public support

for democracy—has been updated through

2006. Latin American Countries covered

include Argentina, Brazil, Mexico, Chile,

Cuba, Guatemala, and Venezuela.

major approaches to teaching Latin American

politics. Part I examines four central themes—

democratization, economic development,

article per chapter to apply the themes from

Part I.

countries or regions provide immediacy and

contextual details. Each country chapter also

includes one article from a more popular

Global Politics discusses the historical

background and major theories of

international relations. The text is organized

into five parts: theory and history, states and

foreign policy, security relations, economic

relations, and global challenges. It focuses

on today’s most urgent issues, such as

international conflict, economic alliances, and

terrorism and global security. A theoretical

chapter on global politics covers six major

perspectives on international relations and

clearly explains the premise and significance

of each theory.

■ New! The book has been reorganized so that

students are introduced to non-state actors

in Chapter 4 rather than in Chapter 13.

■ New! Ethnic Conflict and International

Terrorism are now covered together in

Chapter 7.

■ New! The authors incorporate security and

economic developments: the Iraq War,

ethnic and religious conflicts, nuclear

proliferation, international terrorism

(including London, Madrid, and Mumbai

bombings), and U.S. unilateralism and

its backlash.
