Medvic, Franklin and Marshall College, USA Series: Controversies in Electoral Democracy and Representation Drawing on seminal work in political science, Stephen K. Medvic convincingly argues to the masses that blanket condemnation of politicians is both unfair and unwarranted. Medvic explains how cognitive biases in the way people reason often lead us to draw unjustified conclusions of politicians in general based on the malfeasance of some. He also demonstrates the necessity of ambition, the utility of politics for resolving conflicts peacefully, and the value of ideology in framing political choices. Selected Contents: Preface 1.

US POLITICS: AMERICAN GOVERNMENT 11 TEXTBOOK Food Policy in the United States An Introduction Parke Wilde, Tufts University, Boston, USA Series: Earthscan Food and Agriculture In this introductory textbook the author argues that if current policies were more widely understood beyond the small community of food policy experts, political support for reforms could increase. The goal of the book is therefore not only to provide a broad and balanced textbook, but also to make US food policy more comprehensible to those outside the agri-food sector whose interests and aspirations have been ignored. It assumes that the reader’s concern is not just the economic interests of farmers, but also includes nutrition, sustainable agriculture, the environment and food security.

Several changes from this earlier era are central to today’s politics: the end of the New Deal electoral coalition, party dealignment among the mass public, decline in party affiliation, declining trust in government, and a rise in professionalism among governing elites. The composite picture is of a government of professionals with unstable mass allegiances. Schier and Eberly’s system-level view of American politics demonstrates the dysfunctional disconnect between an increasingly polarized and partisan elite and an increasingly disaffected mass public. Selected Contents: 1. The New American Political System 2. How the 1960s Realignment Shapes Contemporary Electoral Politics 3. For Presidents: Popularity or Else 4. Professionalism and Polarization in Congress 5. Courts as Professional Policymakers 6. Public Policy and the Bureaucracy 7.
