The Democratic Debate: An Introduction To American Politics

Editorial Reviews
Book Description

The Democratic Debate examines the struggle between the elite and popular models of democracy which, the authors argue, have alternated as the dominant vision in America since its founding. The text uses the standard of popular democracy to examine the United States from anti-federalism to contemporary social movements, and includes new material on the 2000 elections, the early months of George W. Bush's presidency, recent protests against the World Trade Organization, September 11, and more.

• New Ideas boxes give examples of innovative solutions to current problems and issues in government.
• Making a Difference chapter boxes focus on people, famous and otherwise, whose actions demonstrate how individuals can make a difference in democracy.
• A Closer Look features examine contemporary issues, such as mobilizing the Latino vote, from the perspective of both democratic models examined in the text.
