In the most up-to-date core text available on the presidency, Pika and Maltese once again deliver their comprehensive—and accessible—analysis of the presidency. Never losing sight of the foundations of the office, the authors maintain a balance between historical context and contemporary scholarship on the executive. A solid foundation for any presidency course, the revised eighth edition features updated chapters, including thorough coverage of the 2012 election, and a new chapter analyzing Obama’s challenges as a second-term president in an entrenched partisan environment.
