We created this site to help you learn about American
politics and the problems posed when ordinary citizens--who
often disagree over the relative value of freedom, order,
and equality--rely on democratic government to make public
policy. As its title implies, The Challenge of
Democracy argues that good government often involves
difficult choices. Each chapter page opens with a summary of the text. Menu bars at the top and bottom link to other material relevant to the chapter: e.g., web sites, computer aids, and self-tests. Some chapters offer other features to help you study and understand U.S. politics. Below is a table displaying chapters plus the appendices. You can begin navigating the site from below or use the drop-down menu from above. Happy Surfing-- Kenneth Janda, Jeffrey Berry, Jerry Goldman |
