Perspectives on American Politics organizes
up-to-date selections into four categories—
Foundations, American Politics Today,
Controversies, and View From the Inside.
This range of perspectives expands students’
understanding and knowledge of how the
American system works. The text’s thirteen
chapters correspond with the most frequently
assigned chapters of American Government
textbooks, making it an ideal supplement to
any core text.
Controversies in each chapter provide students
with different points of view on critical issues in
American politics, using either a pro/con set of
articles or a single balanced article. Both the
text and the Instructor’s Resource Manual
include ideas on how to use these articles to
structure class debates. With the addition of
this feature, the Fifth Edition presents a greater
number of readings directly related to the
introductory American Government course.
(Articles on international topics are interspersed
throughout the other sections as appropriate.)

THIS TEXT INVESTIGATES AND EVALUATES
the developing political processes in Russia,
Ukraine, Georgia, Lithuania, and Uzbekistan.
Students will come to understand the newly
formed political institutions in this region
through comparison with other established
democracies in Europe and North America,
historical overviews of the Tsarist and Soviet
periods, as well as summaries of socialist and
communist philosophies. Comparative case
studies explain the divergent paths taken
since the breakup of the Soviet Union and
cover topics such as constitutional structures
and the main institutions of government; the
nature of society and political culture; and
political participation and political parties.
This approach helps students understand how
decisions are actually made and how the
allocation of resources occurs—through the
intersections of politics, culture, the economy,
and international influences.
■ Pedagogy in the text includes a glossary of
key terms, critical-thinking questions,
and suggested readings and web links.
■ Photos, maps, tables, and feature boxes
provide additional information and bring
the regions to life.

comparativists, this innovative and accessible
introductory text surveys twelve key countries
organized by level of political development:
established democracies, transitional
democracies, and non-democracies. The
studies illuminate four comparative themes in

examining the interaction of states within the
international order; governing the economy,
covering the role of the state in economic
management; the democratic idea, discussing
the pressure for more democracy and the
challenges of democratization; and the
politics of collective identities, studying the
political impact of diverse attachments and
sources of group identity.

political science, and each chapter has a
data sheet of demographic, socioeconomic,
and political information to aid in
country comparisons.

politics and government from a political
science perspective, Politics in Latin America
focuses on three unifying themes central to
Latin America today—the challenges of
development, liberty, and governance.
The first four chapters provide a historical
overview and describe the importance of each
of these challenges; each of the seven country
studies discusses the challenges as they
pertain to that particular country. Through the
process of examining these three challenges,
the text considers their implications for the
future of democracy in the region.
■ New! Updated coverage of the
contemporary quests for development,
liberty, and governance includes the
dynamics of political backlash against
market-oriented economic policies, the
expansion of human rights investigations
and trials in several countries, and the
debate over “illiberal democracy” in Latin
America and around the world.
■ New! Topical coverage includes economic
and human rights policies in Argentina, an
analysis of the October 2006 elections in
Brazil, Michelle Bachelet’s presidency
following her January 2006 electoral victory,
and changes in Cuban political dynamics
following Fidel Castro’s 2006 illness.
■ New! Analysis of the recent presidential
campaign in Mexico includes an
examination of the protests led by Andrés
Manuel López Obrador following the July
2006 elections.
■ New! Expanded coverage of Hugo Chávez’s
presidency in Venezuela includes analyses
of the 2004 recall election and the 2005
legislative elections as well as an
examination of the December 2006
presidential elections.
■ New! The cross-national analysis of all Latin
American countries in Chapter 12—which
examines the relationship between
economic development, respect for liberty,
governance patterns, and public support
for democracy—has been updated through
2006. Latin American Countries covered
include Argentina, Brazil, Mexico, Chile,
Cuba, Guatemala, and Venezuela.

chapter on global politics covers six major
perspectives on international relations and
clearly explains the premise and significance
of each theory.
