Reviews
I think the main strength of this text is the attention paid to culture and the recurring theme of American exceptionalism.  The authors stay focused on those themes and it shows throughout the book. This gives the text a clarity that other books may lack.

Synopsis
Examining democracies from a comparative perspective helps us better understand why politics-or "who gets what, when, and how"-differs among democracies. American Difference: American Politics from a Comparative Perspective takes the reader through different aspects of democracy-political culture, institutions, interest groups, political parties, and elections-and, unlike other works, explores how the US is both different from and similar to other democracies. Used in conjunction with a textbook for courses in introduction to American politics, introduction to comparative politics, or introduction to politics, this book will provide additional context and deepen students' understanding of key political concepts. Book jacket., Examining democracies from a comparative perspective helps us better understand why politics--or "who gets what, when, and how"--differs among democracies. In American Difference: American Politics from a Comparative Perspective, authors Lori M. Poloni-Staudinger and Michael R. Wolf take the reader through different aspects of democracy--political culture, institutions, interest groups, political parties and elections--and explore how the US is both different from and similar to other democracies. Used in conjunction with a textbook for courses in Introduction to American Politics, Introduction to Comparative Politics, or Introduction to Politics, this book will provide additional context and deepen students' understanding of key political concepts., Americans strongly believe in the idea that our democracy is unique--is an exception, in fact, among other advanced industrialized democracies. But exactly how and why is our political system different? Poloni-Staudinger and Wolf start with the idea that each country's political priorities are influenced by the development of its political beliefs, political culture, and political institutions. They want to remind American students that our form of democracy is just one form of democracy. And if we examine components of our political system comparatively, we can better see and learn the ways in which our government is unique as well as see how other democracies function differently and successfully. This learning through contrast not only enriches students' understanding of their own political system, but this comparative context has become increasingly important as students see themselves as global citizens, competing and engaging in what is truly a globalized world and workforce. Unfortunately few American government texts offer much in the way of comparison to other countries and comparative politics books don't always situate the US in their analysis. This book fills that void with a crisply written and brief supplement., The authors of this book explore the idea that each countrys political priorities are influenced by the development of its political beliefs, political culture and political institutions and use this concept in order to help students compare American democracy to other forms.
