Product Description
With a focus on competition for resources, this balanced, but provocative text uses Harold Laswell’s classic definition of politics–“Who gets what, when, and how”–as a framework for presenting a clear, cohesive and stimulating introduction to the American political system.
Thomas Dye, along with new co-leader Bartholomew Sparrow, has written a lively and absorbing narrative examining the struggle for power that is American politics: the participants, the stakes, the processes, and the institutions. Copious feature boxes explore timely issues, draw cross-cultural comparisons, promote critical thinking, and provoke thoughtful opinions. The Texas Edition of this classic text includes the same coverage as the comprehensive version, but includes 7 additional chapters on Texas politics.
With the intense political conflict of the most expensive presidential battle in American history and the hotly-contested primary campaigns that led to the national conventions in 2008, Politics in America’s theme of the constant competition for power and resources–“who gets what”–has never been more significant.

I just finished taking a class called “Introduction to American Politics” and this was our only textbook. I establish the textbook to be simple to read, clearly written, and factually accurate. I dread that many students, like myself, who have already studied some in this area may find the book to be too simplified, and will get bored reading about the basics of material which is already familiar to them. The book is fantastic for the novice, but is certainly not upperclassmen material.

Overall this book is a excellent overview of the american political system. The structures of the beurocracy, executive, congressional, and judicial branches are covered very painstakingly. But, I establish that the leader inserted a bit too much of his own Republican biases in it. There is a whole section devoted to “government waste” – a common election tactic by Republicans. While it is right that the government is wasteful- all beurocracies are to some extent- a recent survey showed the US gov’t to be the 3rd most well-organized in the world. Also, sprinkled throughout the book are convinient three paragraph long and very shallow “Counterpoints” which try to convince readers of republican principles from the flat tax to the abolition of affirmative action. The most egragrious offenses come in various profiles “people in polics” of various leaders in politics. Invariably, the Republicans profiled have their personal strengths asserted with a folksy charm, while the Democrats are agreed a far away overview as well as mention of some trivial personal faults (Barbara Boxer’s overdrafts from the House banks- a trivial issue in the huge picture of things- is in her bio). And of course there are also the “Liberal ratings” in it- with the late Paul Wellstone topping the list. In addition to all of this, the all-purpose wording of the book and word choice used betrays the clearly Republican biases of the leader. Overall the book is not a terrible book, it does a excellent and thorough job at outlining the structure of the federal government, but, reader beware of the biases of the leader.
