This best-selling, debate-style reader is edited and updated annually by John Rourke to examine the most important and provocative issues in American politics.The topics featured in You Decide! have been selected for their currency, importance, and student interest, and the pieces arguing various sides of a given issue come from recent journals, congressional hearings, think tanks, and periodicals.The text has once again been fully updated to keep pace with the issues that are most pressing in our political system and most important to engage in an American government class. New debate topics include the cultural assimilation of immigrants, the oil industry and energy prices, the ideological shift of the Supreme Court, government scientists on global warming, U.S. troops in Iraq, commuting the prison sentence of “Scooter Libby,” and many more.
