1 AMERICAN POLITICS Spring 2014 Political Science 121 Haverford College Steve McGovern Office: Hall 105 Phone: (w) Hours: Th (and by appointment) Course Description This course introduces students to the dynamics and tensions that underlie American politics and government. We will start with the creation of the United States and think about how the values and practices of the Founders shaped the establishment of the nation s political institutions and processes. Much of the first half of the semester will then be devoted to analyzing the primary institutions of governance, including the Congress, presidency, bureaucracy, and courts. Next, we will examine the important mechanisms that link Americans to the government such as political parties, the electoral system, interest groups, public opinion, and the media. Throughout the course we will contemplate a number of fundamental questions: Who wields power in American society and politics? Do ordinary citizens have adequate opportunities to express their views, influence decision makers, and shape public policy? Does the government produce public policy that responds more or less to the will of the majority? Are minority rights sufficiently protected? To what extent does the political system appropriately balance competing ideals of liberty, equality, and democracy? Do political institutions exercise undue power or are they essentially ineffectual? Is democracy in America flourishing or floundering?
