Politics in the USA

M.J.C. Vile’s classic introductory text, Politics in the USA , has now been thor-

oughly revised and updated to take account of the considerable developments

in American politics over the last ten years.

The book provides students with an essential background to the history

and development of the American political system as well as an explana-

tion of its key structures, processes and institutions. The book establishes

a framework within which to understand the intricacies of politics in the

world’s most powerful nation.

This new edition provides students with:

• a chapter on US foreign policy including the signiicant developments

under Clinton and George W. Bush, including the Iraq War;

• an analysis of Bush’s presidency and the rise of neoconservatism;

• the discussion of controversial issues such as abortion, immigration,

the death penalty, Hurricane Katrina, and Guantánamo Bay and civil

rights;

• suggestions for further reading and relevant websites for each chapter.

This is the most up-to-date and readable textbook on American politics.

As such, it will be of interest to all students of politics and international

relations.

M.J.C. Vile is Professor Emeritus of Political Science at the University of

Kent.
