American Politics in the Age of Ignorance: Why Lawmakers Choose Belief over Research

Trumpism
Trumpism is more than one person or a cult of personality, it's a political movement and attitude. Politainment is the joining of politics and entertainment. Together they produce a media-driven world of alternative facts, pop culture, and hyper-commercialism of candidates, politics, and the news. Written across generations by a college professor and student, Trumpism: American Politics in the Age of Politainment describes this new world of American politics, distilling then ten rules that describe this new reality and which candidates need to know if they are to succeed.

Politainment
The world of politics, campaigns, and elections is confusing. How do we make sense out of why candidates do what they do or why some are successful and others not? This book explains political campaigns and elections by way of ten simple rules that candidates need to follow if they wish to be successful. Mastering and understanding these rules makes clear what it takes to win in politics and why politicians do what they do and why politics is what it is today. The key to understanding contemporary politics begins with two simple concepts. The first is that it is the world of politainment where politics and entertainment had collapsed into one another, producing a new world of politainment (p...
Property Rights and Neoliberalism
Property rights and efforts to curb state appropriation of private properties for public purposes have always held high status on the political agenda of the US and many other nations that feature a corporate capitalist economic system. In addition to this, over the last several decades conservative libertarian and neo-liberal groups have put constitutional demands for greater property protection on the agendas of courts in several countries. Studying property rights mobilization in both domestic and comparative contexts, the contributors to this volume bring a range of social science perspectives to address three primary issues: the contours and characteristics of property rights mobilizations; the degree to which property rights movements have influenced development of law in demonstrable ways; and the broader cultural, social and economic implications of modern-era property rights litigation and legal mobilizations. This will be a key text for anyone working within or interested in property rights.
Privacy
Privacy, or being free from being observed or disturbed by others, is a right that we often take for granted. The daily lifestyle of a teenager is filled with issues that they often just want to work out themselves, in private. This volume explores the real and perceived teen rights related to privacy issues. Readers will evaluate whether a student's right to privacy is more restricted than an adult's right to privacy, and the impact of blank parental consent requirements and parental involvement laws. Also discussed are school searches of students and their lockers, and student drug testing.

The Oxford Companion to the Supreme Court of the United States
The Supreme Court has continued to write constitutional history over the thirteen years since publication of the highly acclaimed first edition of The Oxford Companion to the Supreme Court. Two new justices have joined the high court, more than 800 cases have been decided, and a good deal of new scholarship has appeared on many of the topics treated in the Companion. Chief Justice William H. Rehnquist presided over the impeachment trial of President Bill Clinton, and the Court as a whole played a decisive and controversial role in the outcome of the 2000 presidential election. Under Rehnquists's leadership, a bare majority of the justices have rewritten significant areas of the law dealing w...
