Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The American Political Process examines the democratic character of government and politics in the United States. It explores the American political culture, with its inherent tensions; examines the principal institutions; and analyses public policy-making using a case-study of the formulation of foreign policy. The political culture of the US, since the inception of the Republic, has been explicitly and almost exclusively that of a liberal democracy. The absence of other political traditions has had a profound impact on government and politics. Liberal democracy framed the reference within which the institutions of government were created and sets the parameters within which politics operates. This lucid, concise and distinctive account of the American political system provides students with a broad understanding of the institutions of government, placed within the context of the US political culture.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Few Americans and even fewer citizens of other nations understand the electoral process in the United States. Still fewer understand the role played by political parties in the electoral process or the ironies within the system. Participation in elections in the United States is much lower than in the vast majority of mature democracies. Perhaps this is because of the lack of competition in a country where only two parties have a true chance of winning, despite the fact that a large number of citizens claim allegiance to neither and think badly of both. Or perhaps it is because in the U.S. campaign contributions disproportionately favor incumbents in most legislative elections, or that largely unregulated groups such as the now notorious 527s have as much impact on the outcome of a campaign as do the parties or the candidates' campaign organizations. These factors offer a very clear picture of the problems that underlay our much trumpeted electoral system. The second edition of this Very Short Introduction introduces the reader to these issues and more. Drawing on updated data and new examples from the 2016 presidential nominations, L. Sandy Maisel provides an insider's view of how the system actually works while shining a light on some of its flaws. He also illustrates the growing impact of campaigning through social media, the changes in campaign financing wrought by the Supreme Court recent decisions, and the Tea Party's influence on the sub-presidential nominating process. As the United States enter what is sure to be yet another highly contested election year, it is more important than ever that Americans take the time to learn the system that puts so many in power.
