Download or read book Promise and Performance of American Democracy written by Jon Bond and published by Cengage Learning. This book was released on 2009-01-14 with total page 704 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Grounded in current political science research and the latest scholarship, PROMISE AND PERFORMANCE OF AMERICAN DEMOCRACY, 9th Edition, uses the title's theme as an organizing framework, effectively engaging students in American politics. The promise of democracy is analyzed using three core principles: majority rule, political freedom, and political equality. Bond and Smith further explore these principles in features such as Living the Promise and Promise and Policy boxes, the latter of which integrates the policy discussion into the chapter, rather than at the end of the book as many other texts handle policy. The performance of democracy is integrated into the book with an assessment at the end of every chapter along with a concluding policy chapter. Adopting instructors praise PROMISE AND PERFORMANCE OF AMERICAN DEMOCRACY, 9th Edition for its great command and incorporation of political science literature and research, including a wealth of quality data in well-illustrated tables and figures. Not only the ideal text for reading and learning, it is also a standard-setting example of how political science is researched and written by the practitioners in academia.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: American Government courses are constantly changing because of world events and the political cycle. As you know, we just went through an election cycle that determined many governor races as well as the party in control of Congress. We incorporate all of these major changes in this new edition. In addition, there are other current issues covered in this new edition including issues of immigration, education, and the tensions of the federalist system. The Promise and Performance of American Democracy uses the theme of the title in each chapter to gauge how our government, including its institutions and political influences, are measuring up. Furthermore, the authors use political science theories to outline the promise and performance so you get a sense of how political scientists study the processes, politics, influences, and institutions, of American Government.
