The American Political System [Paperback]

Unlike texts that overwhelm with irrelevant details, Kollman gives students a simple framework, consistently applied: politics is about collective dilemmas and the institutions that solve them. How can 535 members of Congress get anything done? The committee system. How can the president change immigration policy? Executive orders. How do we get people to the polls? Voter mobilization strategies. Kollmans concise text gets to the conceptual heart of political science.A contemporary framework without the fluff, updated through the 2018 elections
