New directions in the American presidency (Second edition.)

Especially coming out of the landmark presidential elections of 2008 and 2016, the study of the American presidency - both as a political institution and of those who have held the office - is one of the most fascinating and dynamic fields of study within American government. 'New Directions in the American Presidency' takes a current look at the various issues facing the contemporary presidency and provides a 'state of the art' overview of current trends in the field of presidency research.

This volume of original chapters by leading presidential scholars is designed to include all the essential topics covered in an undergraduate-level presidency course or a graduate-level seminar while also bringing together key disciplinary debates and treatment of important current real-world developments.
