Presidential Performance. 330 $aThis book is a reference work with an encyclopedic range, offering contemporary and systematic comparisons between the United States and 17 other economically advanced, stable liberal democracies, as well as some more global comparisons. It offers international data on as many aspects of social life as possible, from taxation to traffic accidents, homicide rates to health expenditure, and interest rates to internet usage. Wherever possible it offers not only the most recent available data but also trends over decades. The discussion focuses on changes over time and comparisons between countries. Sometimes the contrasts are striking; sometimes the commonalities are more instructive. Often national political debates are conducted in a vacuum, and examining comparative data on policies, performance and prospects can give a better perspective. . 410 0$aHow the World Compares,$x2522-5340 606 $aComparative politics 606 $aPublic policy 606 $aEconomic development 606 $aUnited States?Politics and government 606 $aComparative Politics$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/911040 606 $aPublic Policy$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/911060 606 $aRegional Development$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/913050 606 $aUS Politics$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/911180 615 0$aComparative politics. 615 0$aPublic policy. 615 0$aEconomic development. 615 0$aUnited States?Politics and government. 615 14$aComparative Politics. 615 24$aPublic Policy. 615 24$aRegional Development. 615 24$aUS Politics. 676 $a320.60973 700 $aTiffen$b Rodney$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$0962485 702 $aGauja$b Anika$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut 702 $aO'Connor$b Brendon$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut 702 $aGittins$b Ross$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut 702 $aSmith$b David$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910369929103321 996 $aHow America Compares$92540586 997 $aUNINA
