In this series of essays, leading American and British political scientists describe and analyze an era of dramatic change for American policy agendas and political arenas. The essays cover the social trends facing American governments since 1970, the environmental agenda, the problem of the national debt, America's apparent Cold War victory, and the subsequent challenges of exerting influence in a disordered, multipolar world. They then assess the impact of feminism, the endurance of the race and poverty issues and the rise of the media. Finally they cover the development of a campaign finance free-for-all, the conservative transformation of the policy agenda, and the emergence of gridlock in presidential/congressional relations. This collection tackles trends from Woodstock, Watergate and the failure of Richard Nixon, to the Gulf War and the shaky presidency of Bill Clinton. Contributors include: Michael E. Bradley; Philip John Davies; Richard Davis; Georgia Duerst-Lahti; Thomas Mans; F. Dale Parent and Wayne Parent; Wyn Rees; David Ryan; David Sadler; John Schwarz; Fredric A. Waldstein; John K. White and John Kromkowski.
