Abstract "This book is among the first serious looks at the first year of the Biden administration and its many challenges. From a tortured transition to a raging pandemic, a fragile economy, and the threat of international insecurity, Biden entered office at a time even more fraught than he faced as a new Vice President. Confronting a nation divided sharply along political, cultural, and socio-demographic lines, Biden and Harris have promised to unify the country, change the tone in Washington, mend fences with allies, and "build back better" a world assailed from stem to stern. This book assesses the successes and shortfalls of the Biden administration's first year, putting all in perspective of the current state of democracy in America. Intended to introduce students of American government to the person (Biden) and the institution (Presidency) within a particular system (separation of powers), this book will appeal broadly to citizens, media, and general interest readers in the US and abroad"-- Provided by publisher.
