American Government and Politics in the Information Age by Paletz, Owen, and Cook, is a comprehensive introduction to the vital subject of American government and politics.
It is a comprehensive introduction to American politics and government; it covers all the basics. The text: • introduces the intricacies of the Constitution, the complexities of federalism, the meanings of civil liberties, and the conflicts over civil rights; • explains how people are socialized to politics, acquire and express opinions, and participate in political life; • describes interest groups, political parties, and elections—the intermediaries that link people to government and politics; • details the branches of government and how they operate; • shows how policies are made and affect people’s lives.
However, American Government and Politics in the Information Age goes beyond the basics of American politics and government to explain how and why, in this information age, government and politics are most commonly depicted in the media.
