About CQ Researcher Readers
In the tradition of nonpartisanship and current analysis that is the hallmark of CQ Press, CQ Researcher readers investigate important and controversial policy issues. Offer your students the balanced reporting, complete overviews, and engaging writing that CQ Researcher has consistently provided for more than 80 years.

Each article gives substantial background and analysis of a particular issue as well as useful pedagogical features to inspire critical thinking and to help students grasp and review key material:

  • A pro/con box that examines two competing sides of a single question
  • A detailed chronology of key dates and events
  • An annotated bibliography that includes Web resources
  • An outlook section that addresses possible regulation and initiatives from Capitol Hill and the White House over the next 5 to 10 years
  • Photos, charts, graphs, and maps

The problem with this book is that it is totally 100% US-oriented, which can be problematic for non-US scholars and students. The idea of the book itself is good and a non-US educators can use it selectively, choosing the topics relevant to the reality of their countries. I hope such textbook with European orientation will be prepared in the future. I would personally love to see a text like this with a focus on Central and Eastern Europe.
