The second edition of this widely-adopted text takes as its starting point the dramatic changes resulting from Bush administration actions in the wake of 9/11. The wars in Iraq and on Terror have seen an orientation to building a national security state, a far more unilateralist approach abroad, a reduction of civil liberties at home, and an increasingly divided politics and society. Including full coverage of the presidential election and its consequences, the second edition has been fully revised and updated throughout.
