Bush's presidency, American politics has been marked by controversy.American Politics and Society Todayanalyses these events and provides a lively and authoritative analysis of contemporary politics in the United States.
Bringing together a series of leading scholars, the volume comprises ten important, engaging and critical essays on the complex character of America's divided democracy. Challenging conventional textbook wisdoms, the collection provides new interpretations on American government institutions, public policies and popular culture from jazz and rap toThe SimpsonsandSouth Park. Consistently stimulating, readable and provocative, the book allows readers to make their own informed and dispassionate assessment of the current state of the ‘American experiment'.

Robert Singh and nine colleagues start with the international policy context, tour the main institutional landmarks of policy-making, and embed all of that in the larger society. What results is the liveliest investigation of American politics to cross my desk in a long time."Byron E. Shafer, University of Wisconsin
"This is an excellent collection. Not the least of the book' s merits is that it focuses on a number of issues at the interface of politics and society, and thus goes beyond the usual approach of focusing just on political institutions or on political behaviour. It will be of interest to the general reader, but will also be a useful source for those teaching and studying on university courses on American politics."Alan Ware, University of Oxford
"Experts as well as an informed public will find American Politics and Society Today to be a good learning experience."American Studies International
