Debating Reform: Conflicting Perspectives on How to Fix the American Political System, Third Edition gets readers to consider the key issues in reforming political institutions. Written specifically for this volume, each pro or con essay is contributed by a top scholar and examines a concrete proposal for reforming the political system. By focusing on institutions, rather than liberal or conservative public policies, the text moves students to leave behind ideology and grapple with evidence, then draw their own conclusions and build their own arguments. Students explore how institutions work in their American government text, but this reader helps them understand how they can be made to work better.
