Renewing Presidential Politics

Examining the quality of presidential candidates and campaigns, Bruce Buchanan analyzes the 1996 election alongside those of 1988 and 1992. He argues that effective, issue-focused campaigns enhance citizen engagement and improve governance. The book serves as a critical resource for college courses on elections and the presidency, advocating for a future where citizens actively participate in the political process, fostering a deeper connection to candidates and media that truly reflect their interests and values.
