It takes more than an excellent candidate to win elections; it takes an outstanding campaign organization, too.

12 newly commissioned chapters critically assess the legacy of Obama’s presidency in Trump’s AmericaDesigned at the end of Obama's second term (unlike most books published on the Obama presidency), thus drawing on a complete range of insights on the former president's time in the officeFeatures leading experts on the American presidency and on major issues in the US today, covering both European and American perspectives on the topicTackles both institutional and political dynamicsRests on a dialogue across politics and history that allows for deep assessment of the achievements of Obama's presidency while simultaneously placing the successes and failures in historical perspectiveContributors include Steven Skowronek, Andrew Rudalevige and Sidney MilkisFeaturing a range of experts on the American presidency, this book offers both European and American perspectives on both the successes and failures of President Obama’s tenure in the White House. Focusing primarily on domestic policy, these essays explain why Obama's widely anticipated moment of change did not fully materialise. The Obama presidency navigated partisan and institutional obstacles, but quickly lost its 2008 momentum. These developments illustrate the weakening of the institutional Presidency in a larger context of polarised politics. Many of the fault lines of American society were thus left largely unaddressed, paving the way for the Trump campaign in 2016.ContributorsDavid Bensman, Rutgers University, USA.

The historical significance of Barack Obama's triumph in the presidential election of 2008 scarcely requires comment. Yet it contains an irony: he won a victory as an African American only by denying that he was the candidate of African Americans. Obama's very success, writes Fredrick Harris, exacted a heavy cost on black politics.In The Price of the Ticket, Harris puts Obama's career in the context of decades of black activism, showing how his election undermined the very movement that made it possible. The path to his presidency began just before passage of the 1965 Voting Rights Act, when b
