Description
Developed in partnership with teachers and students to meet the learning, study, and assessment goals essential to student success, THE CHALLENGE OF DEMOCRACY, STUDENT CHOICE, 2e incorporates to-the-point coverage, eliminates extraneous material, integrates pedagogy that reinforces key concepts, and features a strong web component for review, testing, and assessment purposes. Based on THE CHALLEGE OF DEMOCRACY, BRIEF, 7E, this text is acclaimed for its exploration of the conflicting values of freedom, order, and equality; the majoritarianism vs. pluralism debate; and globalization's effect on American politics. Bringing students the very latest research and events central to the field of American Government, the Second Edition has been extensively updated and includes new examples, figures, data, and current discussions that include a balanced retrospective of the Bush presidency as well as new comparative features that place the United States in a global context. It also includes access to online learning environment AmericansGoverning.org. The text challenges students to sharpen their critical thinking skills, compare and contrast U.S. policy with other countries, contemplate future trends, and put their new knowledge into political action.
