• Political Science | Introduction to American Politics.
• Since we can't escape from politics in our lives, we might as well learn to appreciate and enjoy them. In this class we explore American politics: its rules (the Constitution), its institutions (the Presidency, Congress, the courts, and the bureaucracy), its participants (individual voters, parties, interest groups, and the media) and its products (social, economic and foreign policy). We not only cover the facts of American politics, we also focus on becoming informed critics and intelligent consumers of the daily barrage of news from the media. ... The class will be a mix of lecture, participation and small groups exercises in which students work on problems and deal with the challenges of American politics. ... It especially designed for those who would like to have a more complete understanding of American politics and desire to be more effective political participants. ...

• 3821 POS 110 – AMERICAN POLITICS.
• OBJECTIVES: What should you “learn” about American politics in the next 7 weeks?  As is true in most survey courses, the amount of information available to you can seem so encyclopedic as to be a bit overwhelming; so sorting the more important from the less important is no easy task. ...
•             First, how does American politics really operate?  You should sift through the abundance of information and seek to develop a satisfying explanation of “what” American politics is and “why” it is what it is. ...   But you should work toward making some judgments about how American politics works and toward developing well-reasoned arguments to support your judgments.
•             Second, we should ask whether or not one’s view of American politics is shaded by particular experiences that are not universally shared.   How have women contributed to American politics and does their perspective differ from others?  Do Native Americans see American politics in the same way as Anglos?  How has the immigrant experience affected American political development then and now?  In short, to what extent do our different cultural and historical experiences affect our understanding of American politics?  Is there more than one “American politics”?.
•             Third, how well does American politics work?  What should American politics be like?  Here you should be concerned not just with description (the “what is”), but also with evaluation (the “what ought to be”). ...   In the end, you should be able to make reasoned judgments about the merits of American political practices.

•          Madison is famous for arguing that the US Constitution institutionalizes politics so that (1) the multiplicity of interests in the broader republic make it less likely a single faction will get its way and (2) the mutual power-sharing in the capital would balance ambition against ambition.   Consider other cases of institutional designs that structure politics in a way to produce outcomes more agreeable to some interests or participants rather than others.   What sorts of theories about human politics explain the short and long term successes and failures of these designs?  .
•                    Think for a moment about two descriptions of American politics:  (1) typical citizens have little interest in politics and thus gain little understanding and exert minimal influence over elite policymaking; and (2) politicians are so keenly worried about elections that they constantly follow the polls, pander to the masses, bring home the bacon, engage in symbolic or ideological politics, and generally do everything they can do to satisfy the public without giving serious thought to the overall consequences of policies. ...

• COURTS IN AMERICAN POLITICS: READINGS AND INTRODUCTORY ESSAYS by Henry R. ...
• Determining how to expose undergraduate students to the wide variety of research in judicial politics without offending their pocket books can be problematic. ...
• Henry Glick's COURTS IN AMERICAN POLITICS: READINGS AND INTRODUCTORY ESSAYS is a reader which provides a wide variety of essays covering the role of courts in American society. In Glick's words the collection of essays is designed to "portray courts as integral parts of politics and to make research about courts and the political process easily assessable to students. " (Preface) The book is clearly intended for undergraduate courses in judicial politics or judicial process. ... One former competitor, Goldman and Sarat's AMERICAN COURT SYSTEMS: READINGS IN JUDICIAL PROCESS AND BEHAVIOR (1989) is now out of print. Other possible competitors are Gates and Johnson's, THE AMERICAN COURTS: A CRITICAL ASSESSMENT (1991), and Bonsignore et al. ...
• Apart from cost, however, there are several reasons why the Glick reader might be the better choice for an undergraduate course in judicial politics. ... Thus the Bonsignore reader, while a nice collection for a law & society course, contains a lot of materials that would not fit comfortably in most judicial politics courses. The Gates and Johnson book does fit the material of most judicial politics courses. It contains original review essays on the major issues addressed in a standard judicial politics course. Some of these essays are exceedingly good reflections on what political scientists know (and don't know) about courts in American Politics. ...
• Certainly most of the articles in the book raise questions that remain central to the study of courts and judicial decision making in American Politics. ...
• Since I include the police in my judicial politics course, to me this is an unfortunate omission. ... Of greater importance, a longer introductory essay orienting the student to the field, perhaps along the lines of the second chapter in Harry Stumpf's AMERICAN JUDICIAL POLITICS would have been helpful. ... When used in conjunction with a text, or other supplementary materials, the Glick book can certainly make a solid contribution to an undergraduate course in judicial politics. ...

• Left-wing politics.
• In politics, the term left-wing (or political left or simply on the left) refers to the segment of the political spectrum associated either with any of several strains of socialism, social democracy, or liberalism, (in the United States sense of the word), or with opposition to right-wing politics. The term is also often used to characterize the politics of the Soviet Union and other one-party communist states, although many (perhaps most) on the political left (even including some who call themselves Marxist) would not consider their own politics to have anything significant in common with those of these states. ...
• See Left-Right politics for the origin of the terms and for a summary of what political views would usually be characterized as "left" and "right". Many don't find the left/right dichotomy helpful to discuss contemporary politics (see Political spectrum for discussion of alternatives), but it remains a very common view of the political spectrum. ...
• Critics of democratic socialism or of left-liberalism have often used the association of communism with Soviet-style politics to tar the political left has become tarred with what they see as the crimes of Bolshevism. ...
• In the United States of America, however, no avowedly socialist or communist ever became a major player in national politics although the Social Democratic Party of Eugene V. ... While many American "liberals" would be "social democrats" in European terms, very few of them openly embrace the term "left"; in America, the term is mainly embraced by New Left activists, certain portions of the labor movement, and people who see their intellectual or political heritage as descending from 19th-century socialist movements. ...
• The "New Left" has had varying degrees of unity since its rise in the 1960s, and is a coalition encompassing several movements, such as feminists, Greens, some Labor unions, some Atheists, and exponents of identity politics such as Gay rights activists, minority ethnic and racially oriented Civil Rights groups, and some feminist groups. Many Greens deny that the "left" label provides is useful to describe them, and build their green politics on a different set of assumptions, usually asserting that local control improves on central control, and that only a few issues benefit from global unity. ...
