This textbook provides students of US Politics with an informed
scholarly analysis of recent developments in the American political
environment, using historical background to contextualize
contemporary issues. As the ninth edition, this book reviews a time
of political controversy in the United States, touching on topics
such as gender, economic policy, gun control, immigration, the
media, healthcare, the COVID-19 pandemic, and the widespread social
protests against police brutality. The book looks both backwards to
Trump's presidency and forward to Biden's. Ultimately, the editors
and contributors evaluate the significance of these events on the
future of American politics, providing a perspective that is at
once broad and meticulous.
In one of the first volumes assessing the full two terms of the
George W. Bush presidency, Wroe and Herbert have gathered the work
of leading American and European scholars. In fifteen succinct and
incisive chapters, authorities such as Jim Pfiffner, John Maltese,
Graham Wilson and Alan Gitelson offer assessments of the Bush
administration's successes and failures. Extensive attention is
paid to Bush's foreign policy, including 'The War on Terror' but
the focus is broadened to absorb not only the Bush Doctrine and its
repercussions, but also his trade and homeland security policies.
The president's domestic leadership in economics and social policy
is investigated, as are his dealings as president with the other
institutions of the U.S. political system. The result is a
comprehensive guide to the Bush presidency and its legacy. Key

The presidency of Donald J. Trump is rather ordinary. Trump himself
may be the most unusual, unorthodox and unconventional president
the US has ever had. Yet, even with his extraordinary personality
and approach to the job, his presidency is proving quite ordinary
in its accomplishments and outcomes, both at home and abroad. Like
most modern US presidents, the number and scope of Trump's
achievements are rather meager. Despite dramatic claims to a
revolution in US politics, Trump simply has not achieved very much.
Trump's few policy achievements are also mostly mainstream
Republican ones rather than the radical, anti-establishment,
swamp-draining changes promised on the campaign trail. The populist
insurgent who ran against Washington has followed a policy agenda
largely in tune with conservative Republican traditions. The
Ordinary Presidency of Donald J. Trump provides a detailed
explanation for the discrepancy between Trump's extraordinary
approach and the relative mediocrity of his achievements.
Ironically, it is precisely Trump's extraordinariness as president
that has helped render his presidency ordinary.
