Description

PREREQUISITE or COREQUISITE: ENG 101

This course examines the interaction of the United States government, businesses, and other interest groups that shape the American political system. Discussion will focus on three major questions: who governs the United States, how is it governed, and what are the possibilities for change? A traditional approach to understanding United States government will be augmented by the pluralist view and radical critique.
