The new edition of The Paradoxes of the American Presidency--now with three prize-winning presidential scholars: Thomas E. Cronin, Michael A. Genovese and Meena Bose--explores the complex institution of the American presidency by presenting a series of paradoxes that shape and define the office. Rewritten and updated to reflect recent political events including the presidency of Barack Obama, the 2012 and 2014 elections (with greater emphasis on the importance of the Presidential midterm election), and the primary and presidential election of 2016, as well as the 2020 election and beginning of the Biden Administration, this must-read sixth edition incorporates findings from the latest scholarship, recent elections and court cases, and essential survey research.
Rezensionen / Stimmen
I use this text of the superb conceptual framework (paradoxes), applicability to current events, and its less dense/more accessible prose." I really like this text and have enjoyed rereading it. It's well written, even-handed, comprehensive enough, long enough, short enough, and just fascinating. My students enjoyed it, too. I'd use it again without hesitation. They've done a great job." This book's strengths are that it is affordable and covers all the key components necessary for an undergraduate course on the Presidency. The approach of 'paradoxes' in a useful format for helping the students think about how difficult the office is to categorize and evaluate."
