This brief, debate-style reader engages students in today’s political debates.
In each chapter, two or more readings present opposing perspectives on contemporary political issues. Most of the readings are new, and most address current issues such as healthcare reform and economic policy. Headnotes in every chapter put the readings into a broader political context, and each chapter concludes with discussion questions that encourage students to think critically about the readings and the issues they raise."synopsis" may belong to another edition of this title.
