American Difference; American Politics from a Comparative Perspective

Examining democracies from a comparative perspective helps us better understand why politics―or "who gets what, when, and how"―differs among democracies. In American Difference: American Politics from a Comparative Perspective, authors Lori M. Poloni-Staudinger and Michael R. Wolf take the reader through different aspects of democracy―political culture, institutions, interest groups, political parties and elections―and explore how the US is both different from and similar to other democracies. Used in conjunction with a textbook for courses in Introduction to American Politics, Introduction to Comparative Politics, or Introduction to Politics, this book will provide additional context and deepen students’ understanding of key political concepts.
