How issues are framed matters enormously for the way they are understood and debated. For example, is affirmative action a just means toward a diverse society, or is it reverse discrimination? Is the war on terror a defense of freedom and liberty, or is it an attack on privacy and other cherished constitutional rights? Bringing together some of the leading researchers in American politics, Framing American Politics explores the roles that interest groups, political elites, and the media play in framing political issues for the mass public. \u003cbr\u003eThe contributors address some of the most hotly debated foreign and domestic policies in contemporary American life, focusing on both the origins and process of framing and its effects on citizens. In so doing, these scholars clearly demonstrate how frames can both enhance and hinder political participation and understanding.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"University of Pittsburgh Press","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46892452348055,"sku":"9780822958642","price":4861.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9780822958642.webp?v=1770281461","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/framing-american-politics-9780822958642","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
