Agendas and Instability in American Politics, Second Edition by Frank R Baumgartner
Illuminates the workings of democracies beyond the United States. This book presents an account of how policy issues rise and fall on the national agenda. It offers a different interpretation by taking the long view of several issues - including nuclear energy, urban affairs, smoking, and auto safety.
"Agendas and Instability in American Politics reminds us that ideas, institutions, and (yes) politics all matter... It is at once a grand synthesis of the past and a path-breaking work against which future studies will be measured." - American Political Science Review, on the first edition"
