{"product_id":"the-search-for-american-political-karen-orren-9780521547642","title":"The Search for American Political Development","description":"American political development (APD) has claimed in recent years the attention of a growing band of political scientists, and scholars have begun to speak of \"APD\" as a subfield within the discipline. This book provides a justification for studying politics historically, not only for what it reveals about the roots of political affairs at the present time but what it teaches about politics as an ongoing activity. Placing the character of political institutions at the center of analysis, the authors survey past and current scholarship and outline a course of study for the future.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Karen Orren, Stephen Skowronek\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0521547644\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780521547642\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Cambridge University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/24\/2004\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 246\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.76lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.94h x 5.98w x 0.64d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 01\/01\/2005 pg. 936","brand":"Karen Orren","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43920030990591,"sku":"9780521547642","price":32.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_16fbcf71-2f61-461d-b91c-63710c4c1d6a.jpg?v=1680813212","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-search-for-american-political-karen-orren-9780521547642","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
