The Challenge of Democracy: American Government in Global Politics by Jeffrey Berry

The Challenge of Democracy: American Government in Global Politics by Jeffrey Berry

This best-selling American government book is highly acclaimed for the non-ideological framework it uses to explore three themes: freedom, order, and equality as political values; the majoritarianism versus pluralism debate; and globalization's effect on American politics. Extensively updated, this edition includes new examples, figures, data, and current discussions.
