An English political scientist transplanted to America examines the
question of American exceptionalism. Is the politics of the U.S.
really all that different from politics in other advanced
industrial democracies? Does America have more in common with other
modern democracies than with its own past? To answer these
questions, Graham K. Wilson selects several major areas of
comparison: the size and scope of government, the nature of beliefs
about politics and government, subjects of political debate,
patterns of public policy, and the character of political
institutions. Refuting the traditional theory of path dependency,
Wilson's conclusions challenge the reader to question popular
beliefs about American politics and consider new interpretations of
international political experience.
