Reviews
A rounded, empirically based, and theoretically framed analysis of the multiple dimensions of US government policy.
An original and scholarly contribution to the field of American politics, What American Government Does takes a sophisticated approach to big questions. Luger and Waddell's refreshingly open stance equips them to assess the huge role of government in American life in an illuminating way.
By asking the obvious but far too overlooked question of what American government does and why it does it, this book brings relevancy back to the discipline while making a significant contribution to political science.
