POLITICS, LAW, AND GOVERNMENT

ABC-CLIO SERIES
Across the Aisle

The Across the Aisle series was crafted to help students and the general public understand the positions taken by both of America’s
major political parties on the most pressing issues of the day. At a time when political gridlock and partisan hostility are the most
recognizable patterns in both federal and state government, this series promises to provide an impartial and nuanced understanding of
party politicking, the issues that divide us, and the potential paths toward compromise.
Each volume in the series examines the parties’ positions—both historically and today—regarding a major area of American public
policy. The coverage serves to strip away political spin and help readers gain a true understanding of the arguments and records of both
Republicans and Democrats on today’s hot-button political issues and controversies.
