American Anomaly : U.S. Politics and Government in Comparative Perspective / Raymond A. Smith New York : Routledge, 2008. xxi, 214 p. ; 23 cm. Indeks : p. 205-214 This book comes directly out of discussion and interaction with my students over the past five years. Over that time, I have had the opportunity to teach introductory American politics courses in an adult BA program, in a medium-sized lecture format at a public college, and in large lecture hall settings at a major university. Regardless of the school or the format of the class, I consistenly found that student are eager for information about the politics and governments of other countries, particularly for the insights about the United States that can be provided by the comparative approach by examining the full menu of political processes and governmental institutions cross-nationally, students might be able to achieve greater insight into the impact of such differences for the nature and quality of democratic representation and governance in the United States.
