About this book

The West Wing was first broadcast in 1999 and is widely seen as one of the important dramas of network TV. This book takes it seriously as a case study, reading its idealised portrayal of American political life through theoretical approaches.

The publisher's description points to the show's idealised depiction of politics, and to the contradictions in how Americans think about their country, its values, its aspirations and its conduct abroad. Despite these tensions, the series has won a wide popular following in the United States and beyond.
