Summary:
Provocative and clearly written, this book challenges the reader to
reflect on the problems of American democracy. This new and updated
third edition expands exploration of what Hudson considers are the
major challenges to American democracy: the separation of power:
radical individualism: citizen participation: trivialized elections:
the privileged position of business: inequality; and the national
security system. The book emphasizes such critical and topical
political issues as the persistence of economic inequality despite
the economic prosperity of the late 1990s; the Clinton scandals and
the impeachment controversy; the impact of globalization on business;
the role of soft money in the 1996, 1998, and 2000 election
campaigns; the post-Cold War national security state; and the
consequences of the Gulf War and Kosovo interventions.
