Approaching Democracy is the American Government book with a clear and compelling central theme, designed to elevate student interest.

Approaching Democracy addresses the evolving nature of the American experiment in democratic government. It teaches students the theory and the basics of American political science, the political history of this nation, and provides the critical thinking skills needed to analyze these evolving relationships.

The title and theme for this book come from Vaclav Havel, a former dissident Czech playwright once imprisoned by the his country’s Communist government and later elected president. Addressing a joint session of the U.S. Congress on February 1, 1990, Havel noted that with the collapse of the Soviet Union, millions of people from Eastern Europe were involved in a historically irreversible process: beginning their quest for freedom and democracy. And it was the United Stated of America that provided the model for these newly freed peoples. But Havel put his own spin on the notion of American democracy as a model. “As long as people are people,” Havel explained, “democracy, in the full sense of the word, will always be no more than an ideal. In this sense, you too are merely approaching democracy. But you have one great advantage: you have been approaching democracy uninterruptedly for more than two hundred years, and your journey toward the horizon has never been disrupted by a totalitarian system.”

I needed it for school

Decent book containing various descriptions of the many political systems in the United States, with examples of both US political systems, and political systems abroad, shown to compare the US politically to the world. Contains a lot of details, and is generally easy to read. Very few changes from the 7th edition, so unless you absolutely need this edition, get the 7th edition
