America's Politics: A Diverse Country in a Globalizing World

Written by a leading textbook author with a background in American foreign policy and international relations, America's Politics is the first introductory American government text with a theme of globalization and diversity.

"Globalizing the curriculum" has become a mantra throughout APSA and the American university system, and "Demography is destiny" is also resonating widely from coast to coast. Addressing both of these trends, author John T. Rourke weaves them into the story of U.S. national government in a compact, affordable, and pedagogically rich text.
