Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A unique and timeless guide to American government and its electoral process—as relevant today as when it was first published in 1972—from the voice of black consciousness, cultural icon Dick Gregory, the incomparable satirist, human rights and environmental activist, health advocate, social justice champion, and author of the NAACP Image Award–winning Defining Moments in Black History: Reading Between the Lies and the classic bestseller Nigger: An Autobiography. For most of his life, Richard Claxton “Dick” Gregory worked to educate Americans about the issues—and the forces of power—shaping their lives. A brilliant and informed student of the American experiment, he viewed and understood politics with an acuity few possess. Nearly fifty years ago, on the eve of Richard M. Nixon’s reelection, he wrote a classic guide to the American political system for ordinary folks. Today, when American democracy is threatened, his primer is more necessary than ever before. In Dick Gregory’s Political Primer, Gregory presents a series of lessons accompanied by review questions to educate and empower every citizen. He provides amusing, concise, and clear information and commentary on the nature of political parties, the three branches of government and how they operate, how the campaign process works and the costs, and more. Gregory offers imaginative comparisons such as the Hueys—Long, the populist Louisiana governor and Newton, the cofounder of the Black Panthers—and numerological parallels between Abraham Lincoln and John F. Kennedy. He also includes a trenchant glossary that offers insights into some of the major players, terms, and institutions integral to our democracy and government. An essential guide to American history unlike any other, Dick Gregory’s Political Primer joins the ranks of classics such as Howard Zinn’s A People’s History of the United States, and is essential reading for every American.

Book excerpt: "A thorough yet concise overview of California institutions, politics, and initiative process, grounded in an overview of California’s political culture." —Ronnee Schreiber, San Diego State University The thoroughly revised Fifth Edition of California Politics: A Primer concisely explains how California’s history, political culture, rules, and institutions come together to shape politics today and how they will determine the state of affairs tomorrow. Author Renee B. Van Vechten begins with a brief political history of California, then walks through direct democracy, the legislature, executive branch, and court system. She covers local government and concludes with a discussion of the state’s budget process, campaigns and elections, political engagement, and policy issues. From the structure of the state′s government to its local representatives, policies, and voter participation, California Politics: A Primer delivers the concepts and details students need. New to the Fifth Edition An emphasis on California’s place in the federal system provides students with context around the state leadership′s resistance to Trump administration policies on things like California’s sanctuary state status, immigration, the environment, and more. Increased coverage of policy topics throughout the book helps students see how recent policy has impacted issues such as greenhouse gas emissions regulations, attempted "fixes" for water- and drought-related issues, new transportation projects, and prison reform. Extended discussions of elections-related innovations introduce students to recent elections-related topics such as the Top-Two Primary, efforts to increase voter registration, all vote-by-mail elections, and redistricting. New coverage of the "Five Californias" gives students a better understanding of California’s political geography and how distinct segments of the population are primed for political engagement or disaffection. New lists of key terms with clear definitions at the end of each chapter enable students to review the content more effectively. New and updated maps and graphics depict important topics such as California’s newly proposed high-speed rail project.

Download or read book The Political Primer written by Mark E. Glogowski Ph.D. and published by Trafford Publishing. This book was released on 2011-12-30 with total page 363 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The kind of society you want to live in depends upon what you politically believe. Discover your political beliefs and learn the why in politics. The Political Primer is humbly offered as a way for you to re-discover, or discover for the first time, your political beliefs. This book is about you. It is important to first establish what this book is not. It is not a book with nebulous concepts. It does not deal with mathematics and equations. It contains no incomprehensible theories about society. It will not inundate you with references to lot of other places where you need to look up what other people said. This book discusses the PAC Factor (Political Awareness Confusion Factor), PU statements (Political Untruths), the concepts of Reality and Worldviews, four political parties and the Worldview each embraces, the two Political Interrogatories, the concept of the political gap, four new political terms, exactly what is meant by Direction and Approach in politics, the structure of society, and the impact on society caused by the implementation of right and wrong solutions. The only thing you should be impressed with when you finish reading The Political Primer is how easy it is to understand what politics is all about. You will understand what must happen if you are to be motivated to get involved in politics; you will know why politicians try to keep you angry and upset during the election process; you will know the fundamental differences between the political parties and each partys final goal for societys structure. You will know why politics is not about issues, or the politicians, or what they think, or what they want. You will know why politics is about you. By the time you reach the Epilog you will have fully embraced your Worldview. As a result, you will either agree or disagree with the authors final comments. There will be no middle ground. If The Political Primer achieves its intended goal, it will not be the fact that you agree or disagree that will be important. It will be the fact that you will know why. As you begin to see how all the pieces of the political picture fit together, and if everything begins to make sense for the first time, the sensation you will experience will be similar to the experience of seeing the three dimensional images in Magic Eye pictures for the first time. Read The Political Primer. Find out what it is you truly believe.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First published in 1992, A Political Theory Primer is designed as an introductory course for students in the application of game theory to modeling political processes.

Included at the end of each chapter is a set of exercises designed to allow students to practice the construction and analysis of political models. Although the text assumes only training at the basic algebra level, the student who completes a course around this text will be equipped to read nearly all the professional literature that makes use of game-theoretic analysis. Each chapter also contains suggestiosn for further reading for those students who want to broaden their learning and expertise.

Download or read book Agendas and Instability in American Politics written by Frank R. Baumgartner and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2010-03-15 with total page 368 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When Agendas and Instability in American Politics appeared fifteen years ago, offering a profoundly original account of how policy issues rise and fall on the national agenda, the Journal of Politics predicted that it would “become a landmark study of public policy making and American politics.” That prediction proved true and, in this long-awaited second edition, Bryan Jones and Frank Baumgartner refine their influential argument and expand it to illuminate the workings of democracies beyond the United States. The authors retain all the substance of their contention that short-term, single-issue analyses cast public policy too narrowly as the result of cozy and dependable arrangements among politicians, interest groups, and the media. Jones and Baumgartner provide a different interpretation by taking the long view of several issues—including nuclear energy, urban affairs, smoking, and auto safety—to demonstrate that bursts of rapid, unpredictable policy change punctuate the patterns of stability more frequently associated with government. Featuring a new introduction and two additional chapters, this updated edition ensures that their findings will remain a touchstone of policy studies for many years to come.
