商品描述

U.S. political history is often told through certain perspectives. Whether that is of certain personalities, presidential elections, or political crises, the history of American politics around administrations, ideological conflicts, and pivotal moments, treating each era as distinct. But often these histories fail to compare causes and consequences across time, confusing correlation with causation, mistaking anecdotes for drivers.

This book provides an analytic history of American politics from 1763 to 2024. Focused on conscious efforts to shape public policy, Byron Shafer and Regina Wagner guide their readers through 260 years by relying on four analytical categories that span across the timeline of this narrative. Leveraging analyses of social cleavages, intermediary organizations, governmental institutions, and the policymaking process, the authors are thus able to compare and contrast the efforts to effect policy in different eras and within different contexts. With this new perspecting on American politics, Shafer and Wagner help us better understand our past and contextualize our present.

商品描述(中文翻譯)

美國政治歷史常常是從某些特定的角度來敘述的。無論是某些人物、總統選舉或政治危機,美國政治的歷史圍繞著各個政府、意識形態衝突和關鍵時刻,將每個時代視為獨特的。然而,這些歷史往往未能比較不同時期的原因和結果,混淆了相關性與因果關係,將軼事誤認為驅動因素。

本書提供了1763年至2024年美國政治的分析歷史。由拜倫·謝弗(Byron Shafer)和瑞吉娜·瓦格納(Regina Wagner)主導,專注於有意識地塑造公共政策的努力,通過四個跨越這一敘事時間線的分析類別,引導讀者走過260年的歷程。作者利用社會分裂、中介組織、政府機構和政策制定過程的分析,能夠比較和對比不同時代和不同背景下的政策推動努力。通過這種對美國政治的新視角,謝弗和瓦格納幫助我們更好地理解過去,並為當前情境提供背景。
