This course will provide you with an overview of the literature of American Politics.  But as there is a tremendous amount of published material about American Politics, we will be covering more classic books and articles as well as some more recent pieces.  This course should provide you with a good foundation for understanding American politics, but is not intended to be comprehensive.  The theme of the course is how elections influence both public opinion and candidate behavior, but also the behavior on institutions.
