The United States as a Divided Nation
Past and Present
Series:
Edited By Marcin Grabowski, Krystof Kozák and György Tóth
Is the U.S. as a country still capable of finding common ground and effective policy responses in the 21
st
century, or are the dividing lines within U.S. society actually becoming too deep and too wide to bridge, with potentially grave consequences for American social, political as well as economic development? This book discusses important contemporary U.S. wedge issues such as gun rights, racial and economic inequality, the role of the state, the politics of culture, interpretations of history and collective memory, polarization in national politics, and factionalism in domestic and foreign policy. It provides readers with conceptual tools to grasp the complexity of the current processes, policy formation, and political and social change under way in the United States.
