US politics today not only introduces the defining features of
contemporary American politics but also considers the strengths and
weaknesses of a system that is now under serious strain. The book
is ideal for students, teaching staff and the general reader. It
outlines the ways in which the Constitution shapes the politics of
today, surveys the role of the presidency, Congress and the federal
courts, and examines processes of political participation through
elections, organized interests and parties. It pays particular
attention to Barack Obama and Donald Trump's turbulent years in
office and the ways in which recent decades have reshaped the US
political landscape. US politics today also places the US in a
comparative context and considers key theoretical perspectives. In
sum, the book not only provides an indispensable introduction to
contemporary American politics but establishes a basis for informed
commentary and further study. -- .
