From campus protests to the Congress floor, the central feature of
contemporary American politics is ideological polarization. In this
concise, readable, but comprehensive text, Steven E. Schier and
Todd E. Eberly introduce students to this contentious subject
through an in-depth look at the ideological foundations of the
contemporary American political machine of parties, politicians,
the media, and the public. Beginning with a redefinition of
contemporary liberalism and conservatism, the authors develop a
comprehensive examination of ideology in all branches of American
national and state governments. Investigations into ideologies
reveal a seeming paradox of a representative political system
defined by ever growing divisions and a public that continues to
describe itself as politically moderate. The work's breadth makes
it a good candidate for a course introducing American politics,
while its institutional focus makes it suitable for adoption in
more advanced courses on Congress, the Presidency, the courts or
political parties.
