   Explore the distinctive aspects that characterize US democracy and its impact on society

   US Democracy in Perspective offers a dual approach by comparing and exploring its historical background, encouraging students to gain a deeper understanding, interest, and engagement as citizens. Renowned writers Maltese, Pika, and Shively elaborate on the unique aspects of American democratic practices―such as voting, representation of interests based on election outcomes, policy decision-making, law enforcement, and justice maintenance―and how these differ from democratic models in other countries. The focus primarily lies on the American political structure, but academic scrutiny necessitates scrutiny of the country’s gradual evolution over time (historical perspective) and its relative position to comparable democratic models (comparative perspective). This comprehensive approach inspires students to recognize the significance of politics in their daily routines and empowers them to instigate reforms for a better quality of life.
