This exciting introduction to American government asks students to critically evaluate the quality of democracy in America today and to consider how underlying structural factors―such as the economy, society, and cultural values―affect and are affected by our political system.
The Sixth Edition of this bestselling text has been completely updated through September 11, 2001, the war on terrorism, and the 2002 midterm elections. Continuing to offer a lively, critical thinking approach to the course, The Struggle for Democracy is organized around two themes: “Using the Democracy Standard” and “Using the Framework.” The first theme, woven throughout the narrative, asks students to evaluate the health and vitality of American democracy today against a carefully defined democratic ideal.
The text's second theme, “Using the Framework,” asks students to look at the structures underlying our political system―the economy, society, cultural values, technology―and examine how these structures affect, and are affected by, our political system.
"The authors have been successful in producing a text which will help students learn how to think critically about politics. That¿s my goal, too. Congratulations to the authors for doing that difficult job well."
―Sheldon Appleton, Oakland University
"It is important that students understand that we should never assume and always question whether we have a truly democratic system, and this text does that consistently. The "How Democratic Are We" boxes help here, as well, and I think students like the idea that the authors don¿t hide behind some cloak of neutrality. They go out on a limb sometimes."
― Michael D. Martinez, University of Florida
"The concepts and the material are presented in a logical sequence and shown in a very stimulating and interesting approach in conjunction with excellent examples. There is no question in my mind that the students will find this textbook extremely interesting and approachable."
― Dr. Paul B. Davis, Truckee Meadows Community College
"The style of writing is what attracts me to this text. It is clear, easy to follow and provocative for students."
― Amy Pritchett, Cypress College
"The framework used by the authors is one of the most attractive qualities of the volume. It provides a way of introducing in a very direct manner, structural explanations of American politics."
― Michael E. Meagher, University of Missouri
"I have read many of the ¿Using the Framework¿ boxes throughout the book. In almost every instance the issues are compelling and well demonstrated. This is a very simple and effective manner of presentation. The theme is clear and appropriately reinforced across the many chapters. While many texts do not provide clear themes, The Struggle for Democracy clearly does."
― Mark R. Joslyn, University of Kansas
"I hear comments that texts ignore the context of the American political system and take it for granted, especially the influence of our capitalist economic system and our commitment to individualism that exceeds many other democratic nations. I always respond by telling them to check out your textbook [Greenberg & Page, The Struggle for Democracy]."
― Maureen Rand Oakley, Mount St. Mary's College
