ReviewsMost other textbooks for the introductory American politics course leave out either the politics or the science. The Logic of American Politics is unique in providing a thorough, current introduction to the system while also giving students a way to think critically and systematically about it. Despite the fact that it is new and abstract at the outset, students seize on the book's collective action and institutional design framework and use it in class. This is an indication to me that the book pays off for them., [The Logic of American Politics] is simply the best American government text out there. Its clear focus on collective action theory is appealing and understandable, and the text is readable and engaging., The Logic of American Politics has a clear analytical focus, smart and thoughtful chapters that cover what I like in an intro. text, and a writing style that is engaging and accessible to students., The Logic of American Politics has a clear analytical focus, smart and thoughtful chapters that cover what I like in an intro. text, and a writing style that is engaging and accessible to students.

Edition DescriptionRevised edition
SynopsisConveying how the American political system is both extraordinary & complex, the authors explain in a simple & straightforward way that there is a rationale embedded in the U.S. political system., After observing the strains of intense partisanship and divided government, many Americans are wondering what logic, if any, can be found in politics. The new Sixth Edition of The Logic of American Politics reaffirms this best-sellers place as the most accessible "smart" book on the market. Consistently praised for its engaging narrative, the book hooks students with great storytelling while arming them with a "toolkit" of institutional design concepts-command, veto, agenda control, voting rules, delegation., Praised for its engaging narrative, The Logic of American Politics , Sixth Edition , by Samuel Kernell, Gary C. Jacobson, Thad Kousser, and Lynn Vavreck, hooks students with great storytelling while arming them with a toolkit of institutional design concepts. By giving them a taste of real political science in the introductory course, students recognize not only how the American political system was designed the way it was, but also understand why it works the way it does. The authors build students critical thinking through a simple yet powerful idea: politics is about solving collective action problems . With a new full-color interior, the latest edition of this best seller continues to pay special attention to polarization as the authors consistently return to the countrys divide--among voters and in government--as they update with coverage of the 2012 elections and address hot-button issues in American government., Weaving together historical context, current American politics, and analytic concepts, Kernell builds students understanding of political institutions and practices as imperfect solutions to collective action problems.
