American Civic and Political Behavior: Engaging Students as Citizens

With a focus on youth political participation, American Civic and Political Behavior puts the basics of polling and voting into a broad context of democratic theory and civic engagement. Covering everything from the Founding to social media and online recruitment, this text speaks directly to students while providing the political behavior background that professors require. The theme of public-minded citizens contributing to a strong democracy picks up the pieces from the 2016 election campaign and shows students a constructive way forward.
