An Introduction to American Government. Paperback, Cengage

Geer/Herrera/Schiller/Segal's GATEWAYS TO DEMOCRACY: AN INTRODUCTION TO AMERICAN GOVERNMENT, 6th Edition, introduces students to the U.S. political system through the "gateways" framework, including examples of groups and movements that have overcome obstacles to influence government and public policy. Students improve data analysis skills with discussions on election politics and their aftermath. A focus on diversity shows how the changing demographics of American voting public influence have shifted party positions on key policy issues. Important issues are tackled like the reconfigured Supreme Court, gun control, the reach of the executive branch in policymaking and the contestation over abortion. Students learn to open the "gates" in their lives and become informed voters who are active in their local, state and national governments. MindTap and Cengage Infuse are also available.
