Book synopsis

George W. Bush is widely regarded as a president of transformative significance. This volume analyzes the ambitious but controversial agenda that he has pursued at home and abroad. The contributors assess Bush's presidency in terms of its historical context, first-term record, and second-term prospects. They consider his administration from the perspective of its engagement in an ideologically driven project to consolidate conservative ascendancy over U.S. politics and public policy and to promote America's interests and values in the unipolar world. They evaluate the elements of political change and continuity in George Bush's America. The book also focuses on the extent to which the Bush agenda is new or a continuation of previous trends. Contributors also examine how far Bush has succeeded in overcoming political, institutional, and international resistance to his conservative agenda, and they evaluate his prospects for further success. Contributors include John Dumbrell (University of Leicester), Martin Durham (University of Wolverhampton), Godfrey Hodgson (Rothermere American Institute, Oxford University), Steven Hurst (Manchester Metropolitan University), Klaus Larres (Royal Holloway College, University of London), Bob McKeever (University of Reading), John Owens (University of Westminster), Rob Singh (Birkbeck College, University of London), and Alex Waddan (University of Sunderland).
