The New American Democracy

The New American Democracy, Alternate Edition
Morris P. Fiorina - Paul E. Peterson - Bertram Johnson - William G Mayer

"The New American Democracy," Fifth Alternate Edition, emphasizes the central role of elections in our political system and our evolution from a pluralist to a more popular democracy-and how both have profoundly changed the way American politics operates.
