PS 358 - The American Presidency

Credits 3
This course offers an exploration of the U.S. Presidency, a multifaceted, multidisciplinary subject. We study the historical development of presidential authority and relationships with Congress, media, political parties, and the public. All the while we will assess the presidential leadership dilemma - that is, the gap between the expectations Americans and the world place on presidents and the limited institution they have to address them.
