The theme of [the book] is as alive today as it ever was. [The author continues] to examine American politics from the perspective of change. This edition makes clear that change involves a postmodern America where international events and nations help share our political environment. But change also is examined as it affects our domestic politics and institutions. Like any good textbook, the book attempts to provide the basic information and understanding of how the American political system operates. Since this book is intended for an introductory course in American government, it provides basic information on the institutions and principles opeating in the political system.
