| Résumé : |
[This book is for] introductory course on the American political system. [The] first unit focuses on ideological and constitutional underpinnings of American politics, from both historical and contemporary perspectives. The second unit treats the major institutions of the national government. The third covers the "input" or "link age" mechanisms of the system: political parties, elections, interest groups, and media. The forth and concluding unit shifts the focus to policy choices that confront the government in Washington and resulting "outputs" of the political system. -- To the reader |
