Developments in American Politics 9

Senior Lecturer in American Politics, Dr Andy Wroe co edits this newly published title.

Dr Andy Wroe has co-edited ‘Developments in American Politics 9’, along with Professor Gillian Peele, University of Oxford, UK, Professor Bruce E. Cain, Stanford University, USA and Dr Jon Herbert, Keele University, UK.

The edition provides students of US Politics with an informed scholarly analysis of recent developments in the American political environment, using historical background to contextualize contemporary issues. This edition reviews a time of political controversy in the United States, touching on topics such as gender, economic policy, gun control, immigration, the media, healthcare, the COVID-19 pandemic, and the widespread social protests against police brutality. It looks both backwards to Trump’s presidency and forward to Biden’s.

“I hope the textbook will be adopted widely on US politics courses in the UK, EU and US.” Wroe told us “It is already one of the most successful textbooks on US, and now in its ninth edition. I am delighted and honoured to have been invited to join the editorial team.”
