Understanding Power through Watergate: The Washington Collective Power Dynamics

By Tian-jia Dong

Book Overview

Understanding Power through Watergate uses the Watergate Affair as a case to highlight the Washington collective power dynamic.

Academics in the fields of political science, American history, and sociology will find great interest in this book, as well as people involved in the political process. This work will also be a valuable supplement to graduate and undergraduate political science and sociology courses.
