  This concise introduction to American politics assumes no prior knowledge of the subject and has a game metaphor running through the text, referring to the major players and the rules of the game . This metaphor is used to focus on the power dynamics involved and is applied to the US Constitution, placing special emphasis on civil rights and civil liberties. Case studies show how the book operates through real-life events and helps students to link theory to practice.
