The CQ Guide to Current American Government is a collection of the best of recent Congressional Quarterly reporting, as published in the highly acclaimed and newly expanded CQ Weekly magazine. Arranged in four sections-foundations of American government, political participation, government institutions, and politics and public policy-the Guide complements introductory American government textbooks and is ideal for research or general reading. The selections in this volume present balanced, nonpartisan reporting and analyses of many of the most important current political issues. Topics include the debate in Congress over the spending strategy for fiscal 2008, the probes into the alleged bribing of three Alaskan legislators, the scandal surrounding Sen. Larry Craig of Idaho, Dick Cheney's bold reimagining of the vice presidency, troubles at the Department of Justice, the role of ideology on the Supreme Court and increased pressure on the "Big Three" automakers to improve fuel efficiency. Also included in this Guide are in-depth reports on a wide range of timely subjects, among them prospects for reducing greenhouse gas emissions, the challenge of bringing Israelis and Palestinians to the peace table and the fight to change the way insurance companies are regulated in the wake of natural disasters. An appendix offers useful, accessible explanations of the legislative and budget processes, a reader-friendly description of how a bill becomes a law, a glossary of legislative terms and a section on Internet resources of congressional information. The book also includes a detailed index. Whether searching for answers to specific questions or browsing, students, scholars, researchers and general readers will find the CQ Guide to Current American Government an indispensable resource.
