  • - Ethnocentric Foundations of American Opinion
    af Donald R. Kinder & Cindy D. Kam
    404,95 kr.

    Ethnocentrism - our tendency to partition the human world into in-groups and out-groups - pervades societies around the world. This book explains how ethnocentrism shapes American public opinion.

  • - A Political History of Obstruction in the House and Senate
    af Gregory Koger
    399,95 kr.

    In the modern Congress, one of the highest hurdles for major bills or nominations is gaining the sixty votes necessary to shut off a filibuster in the Senate. But this wasn't always the case. This title shows that filibustering is a game with slippery rules in which legislators who think fast and try hard can triumph over superior numbers.

  • - How Invisible Government Policies Undermine American Democracy
    af Suzanne Mettler
    215,95 - 976,95 kr.

    The Obama administration has been criticized for its inability to convey how much it has accomplished for ordinary citizens. This title argues that this difficulty is not merely a failure of communication; rather it is endemic to the formidable presence of the 'submerged state.'

  • af Tracy Sulkin & William Bernhard
    376,95 - 964,95 kr.

  • - The 2008 Election and the Dream of a Post-racial America
    af Michael Tesler & David O. Sears
    278,95 - 1.098,95 kr.

    Barack Obama's presidential victory naturally led people to believe that the United States might finally be moving into a post-racial era. This title argues that the 2008 election was more polarized by racial attitudes than any other presidential election on record.

  • - How Campaigns Do (and Do Not) Matter
    af Christopher Wlezien & Robert S. Erikson
    378,95 kr.

    With the 2012 presidential election upon us, will voters cast their ballots for the candidates whose platforms and positions best match their own? Or will the race for the next president of the United States come down largely to who runs the most effective campaigning? This book reveals how both factors come into play.

  • - A Second Look
    af John H. Aldrich
    353,95 kr.

    Surveying critical episodes in the development of American political parties, this book shows how they address three fundamental problems of democracy: how to regulate the number of people seeking public office, how to mobilize voters, and how to achieve and maintain the majorities needed to accomplish goals once in office.

  • - The Surprising Effects of Campaigning on Judicial Legitimacy
    af James L. Gibson
    340,95 - 1.094,95 kr.

    Responds to the growing chorus of critics who fear that the politics of running for office undermine judicial independence. The author presents a comprehensive study of the impact of campaigns on public perceptions of fairness, impartiality, and the legitimacy of elected state courts - and his findings are both counterintuitive and controversial.

  • - How Leaders Talk and Why
    af Roderick P. Hart, Jay P. Childers & Colene J. Lind
    327,95 - 976,95 kr.

    How did Bill Clinton's clever dexterity help him recover from the Monica Lewinsky scandal? How did Barack Obama draw on his experience as a talented community activist to overcome his inexperience as a national leader? This title provides insights into American politics.

  • - Partisan News in an Age of Choice
    af Martin Johnson & Kevin Arceneaux
    298,95 kr.

    We live in an age of media saturation, where with a few clicks of the remote - or mouse - we can tune in to programming where the facts fit our ideological predispositions. This title demonstrates that the strong effects of media exposure found in past research are simply not applicable in today's more saturated media landscape.

  • - Race, Public Opinion, and Immigration
    af Natalie Masuoka & Jane Junn
    381,95 kr.

    The United States is once again experiencing a major influx of immigrants. Rather than simply characterizing Americans as either nativist or nonnativist, this book argues that controversies over immigration policy are best understood as questions of political membership and belonging to the nation.

  • - Criminal Convictions and the Decline of Neighborhood Political Participation
    af Traci Burch
    353,95 kr.

    The United States imprisons far more people, total and per capita, than any other country in the world. Among the more than 1.5 million Americans incarcerated, minorities and the poor are disproportionately represented. The author offers evidence that living in a high-imprisonment neighborhood significantly decreases political participation.

  • af Matthew Levendusky
    280,95 - 1.098,95 kr.

    Drawing on experiments and survey data, this title shows that Americans who watch partisan programming do become more certain of their beliefs and less willing to weigh the merits of opposing views or to compromise.
