The Elections of 2016

This book delivers a nuanced analysis of a momentous cycle of political contests. Whether discussing particular races or taking a broader look at the national trends, the book engages students with political drama, while weaving in scholarship and expert analysis. "The strength is the authors’ ability to integrate political science research into readable essays that are accessible to undergraduates.  Moreover, the articles—and the book—are brief, which is a virtue in an undergraduate class, and all the essays are quite good. I have assigned this book every year in my course on the presidency, and with good reason—it is consistently the best one available on this topic." "Past editions of Mike Nelson’s elections series have been excellent in the immediate aftermath of the presidential election. They effectively capture the events of the campaigns and the circumstances leading up to the campaigns." Bringing together a host of distinguished scholars, Michael Nelson′s The Elections of 2016 reliably delivers a nuanced analysis of yet another momentous cycle of political contests. No other single volume can expose your students to the depth of analysis and expertise in this title. Whether discussing particular races or taking a broader look at the national trends, these contributors captivate students with engaging stories and political drama, while weaving in important scholarship and expert analysis. Available mere months after the election, each chapter, written specifically for this volume, offers readers historical perspective as well as a look forward at the implications for the American political system.
