Covering everything from abortion to gun control to immigration,
this book explains policies and positions of today's Democratic and
Republican parties, giving readers a complete understanding of
modern-day American politics and the 2016 presidential race. This
book cuts through rhetorical platitudes and partisan distortions to
provide a balanced and up-to-date resource for understanding policy
debates on social issues in statehouses around the country as well
as in Washington, DC. It provides broad coverage of the parties and
the forces that affect each party's positions, examining every
major social policy and taking into account historical differences
between Democrats and Republicans in an evenhanded manner, with
emphasis on the key ideologies that set the two parties apart
during the 2008–2014 midterms. Author Timothy Kneeland presents
an in-depth study of the diversity of political opinion on today's
most pressing social issues, digging deeper than the typical
black-or-white presentation of these debates in the media. Readers
will gain a detailed understanding of how the parties agree,
disagree, and find compromise on the broad range of problems and
issues facing American society in the 21st century.
