Opis

Fandl develops a complete picture of society, from idea to action by examining laws through the lens of policy, and vice versa. This holistic approach gives readers a chance to see not only why certain rules exist, but how those rules evolved over time and the events that inspired them.

Recenzje

"A clear and concise introduction to law and public policy in the United States. Foreign practitioners, scholars and students will find useful insights about the way U.S. institutions work, in a textbook that includes an examination of the Legislative, the Executive and the Judiciary, complemented with an overview of American electoral process, economic development and foreign policy. It also includes topical sections on national security and terrorism, as well as environmental law, food and agriculture, civil rights and labour law, complemented with a key chapter on critical thinking – a skill always in high-demand and short supply". – Rodrigo Polanco, World Trade Institute, Switzerland
