The Logic of American Politics
A text that incorporates political institutions and looks at politics as solving collective action problems
“I’ve been using The Logic of American Politics for more than a decade because it checks all the boxes for a textbook: comprehensive coverage of the major parts of American government; a theme that helps students see connections among various aspects of politics; and timely updates that keep the content fresh. This is the best book on the market.”
—Danny Hayes, George Washington University
With fresh analysis of the 2022 midterm election results, the bestselling textbook The Logic of American Politics provides students the tools they need to make sense of the government they have. Weaving together historical context, contemporary politics, and a "toolkit" of institutional design concepts, the authors build students’ understanding of political institutions and practices as imperfect solutions to collective action problems.
