( This widely read book has become a modern classic of po...)
This widely read book has become a modern classic of political science. The main argument which Lowi develops through this book is that the liberal state grew to its immense size and presence without self-examination and without recognizing that its pattern of growth had problematic consequences. Its engine of growth was delegation. The government expanded by responding to the demands of all major organized interests, by assuming responsibility for programs sought by those interests, and by assigning that responsibility to administrative agencies. Through the process of accommodation, the agencies became captives of the interest groups, a tendency Lowi describes as clientelism. This in turn led to the formulation of new policies which tightened the grip of interest groups on the machinery of government.

Politics is relevant and participation matters. We the People is ideal for showing students that politics is relevant to their lives and that their participation in politics matters. The book engages students with contemporary topics, including polarization in government and digital politics, and presents information on these topics both in the text and in new figures designed to resemble those that students see in online media. New features and resources also teach students to be more savvy consumers of real-world political information. Both the book and free Coursepack are organized around specific chapter learning goals to ensure that students learn the nuts and bolts of American government and to help instructors assess student learning of key concepts.

(The provocative book, originally published in 1976 by Mac...)
The provocative book, originally published in 1976 by Macmillan, provides a case history of public policy-making pressures that emerge when national, state and local governments cooperate in a project that virtually dismantles a local community. As relevant today as when it was first published, Poliscide carefully examines the web of political relationships that originally selected Weston, Illinois as the site of the world's largest atom smasher. It tells how the Atomic Energy Commission, the state government, DuPage County, the Midwest Alliance, realtors, scientific advisors, and local town officials played a crucial role in unwittingly uprooting this small farm community. The book provides unique coverage of land acquisition involving governmental projects; the behavior of scientists in governmental policy making; the role and the power of county government; and the way state governments lobby in Washington for public works projects. This edition contains a new preface by the authors. Co-authors: Elliot J. Feldman, Gregory J. Nigosian, Jonathan Pool, Allan Rosenbaum, Carlyn Rottsolk, Margaret Stapleton, Judith Van Herik, Julia Vitullo-Martin, and Thomas Vitullo-Martin.

“This is a book which demands readers and, more important, one which compels the kind of reflection needed if we are to give life to the moribund Republic.” ―Carey McWilliams, New York Times Book Review Periods of disorder in the United States have generally been regarded as evil times which must be terminated as quickly as possible. But in this provocative analysis of our political system, pursuing the argument of his noted study The End of Liberalism, Theodore J. Lowi maintains that political disorder affords new opportunities for effective political action―or that it can, in system of juridical democracy. Professor Lowi presents a convincing case for the workable possibility of juridical democracy―formal democracy, whose main feature is rule of law―as against interest-group democracy, characterized by policy-without-law.

Politics is relevant. The best book for engaging students in American politics is also the most effective for helping students study and learn. We the People emphasizes the ways that government and politics matter and the ways that people can get involved in politics and influence government. In the Eighth Edition, We the People offers a more contemporary approach to engage students in American politics with new features based on how today’s students study and learn. New pedagogical features, such as highly visual “Who Are Americans?” units and Focus Questions that recur throughout the chapter, help students engage with the material and succeed in the course.

(Of particular interest to a regional market and a source ...)
Of particular interest to a regional market and a source of information for government, sociology and political science majors, the book's value to the general reader is considerably diminished by the heavy use of jargon and an exceptionally dull academic style. ""At the pleasure of the mayor"" is a phrase employed in New York's city charter and the study explores the way this consider- power in patronage has been employed over 60 years. Using the most sophisticated surveying techniques and data processing equipment, the book documents the trend away from government by an elite based on wealth and social position to one that has been increasingly drawn from the laboring classes. Mr. Lowi further traces the factors that resulted in a decline of party control over voting. This is a long book with numerous tables, footnotes, charts, a specialized bibliography and an index.
