This textbook provides scholarly analysis of recent developments in US Politics and puts contemporary controversies in their ideological and historical context. The tenth edition addresses a period of extraordinary political division and conflict. It tackles crucial questions on the state and future of US democracy in light of the attempted insurrection at the Capitol on January 6, 2021, the Trump trials and the assertive start of Trump’s second term. It considers the changing status of the US in global politics and shifting foreign policy in the face of challenges from China, Russia and problems in the Middle East and Ukraine. The book explores a range of domestic issues and debates including those over race, ‘woke’ politics, the decision on abortion, immigration and environmental policies. It assesses the likely impact of the second Trump presidency on political dynamics in the United States and the stability of America’s democratic culture.
