Book Synopsis

How politics in America works today, how it got that way, and how itâs likely to change through reformâthese are the themes that pervade every chapter of Cal Jillsonâs highly lauded American Government: Political Development and Institutional Change. Even in the midst of current challenges, Americaâs past is present in all aspects of the contemporary political system. Jillson uses political development and the dynamics of change as a thematic tool to help students understand how politics works nowâand how institutions, participation, and policies have evolved over time to produce the contemporary political environment. In addition, Jillson helps students think critically about how American democracy might evolve further, focusing in every chapter on reform and further change.
