This text teaches students to think analytically by presenting current political science theories and research in answering the engaging, big questions facing American politics today. It serves as an introduction to the discipline-covering the Constitution, political behavior, formal and informal institutions, and public policy--by reflecting the theoretical developments and types of empirical inquiry conducted by researchers. New to the Fourth Edition 2020 election data updates throughout. Strategic updates on the Covid-19 pandemic, the resulting economic crisis, and the reckoning with racial injustice.

A new co-author coming to the book with award-winning experience in diversity and teacher education as well as research interests in the presidency, women and politics, and foreign policy"--
