This one-stop resource for debating the central issues that
shaped the Reagan, Bush, and Clinton presidencies provides the text
of pro and con primary documents from the presidents and their
opponents, plus helpful analysis to put the issues in context. With
this work, students will be able to debate the issues and apply
critical thinking skills to their understanding of contemporary
American politics and government. The work examines a set of issues
and initiatives central to each president's time in office and
presents issue-specific introductions that place the issues in
political context.
Domestic and economic policy, as well as military and foreign
policy, of each president are covered. The entry on each issue
contains an overview of the issue and discussion of opposing
viewpoints, followed by a statement from the president and the text
of an opponent's dissenting point of view. Coverage of the Reagan
presidency includes the first Reagan economic program, the 1986 tax
reform, peacekeeping in Lebanon, the Strategic Defense Initiative,
and the Iran Contra scandal. Issues from the Bush presidency
include drug control, the Americans with Disabilities Act, Clarence
Thomas' nomination to the Supreme Court, and the Persian Gulf War.
The Clinton presidency topics include homosexuals in the military,
health care reform, the Starr investigation and Clinton's
impeachment, peacekeeping in Bosnia, and the bombing of Kosovo. The
section on each president concludes with recommended reading for
further study. An introductory overview to the period and a
timeline put all the issues in chronological context.
