Election 2000: Aberration or paradigm? The essays in this innovative volume, combining scholarly and journalistic views, seek to place the extraordinary events of the 2000 presidential election into context with the trends of electoral politics before and after. Originally presented as a series of public lectures at Oxford University, this volume benefits from an international perspective, a stellar lineup of contributors, and a remarkably cohesive analysis that lays the election results (and thus, the current state of American politics) at the feet of a persistent American cultural divide.

Reviews for State Of American Politics
This excellent, compact book contains eight articles by political scientists and journalists. Highly recommended for upper-division undergraduates and above.
CHOICE
The central strength of this admirable edited collection is its vivid but concise depiction of the main features of recent American politics, captured through a focus on the 2000 elections...an impressively lucid and clear analysis.
Political Studies Review
More than any recent presidential election, the 2000 contest defied conventional wisdom and demanded explanation. Byron Shafer has filled that bill in characteristically lucid style. More than that, by the trenchant commentaries he has collected in The State of American Politics, Professor Shafer has managed to convert that cockamamie election we all endured into a tool for making sense of our whole disordered political process.
Robert Shogun, former national political correspondent, Los Angeles Times; author of No Sense of Decency: The Army-McCarthy Hearings
