Biography
Stephen Brooks teaches at the University of Michigan and is Professor at the University of Windsor. He teaches in the areas of Canadian politics and public administration, and American politics. His research interests include the political influence of intellectuals, political thought in Canada and the United States, federalism, and public policy.
"Stephen Brooks has written a thoughtful and provocative study that reminds us that we can ill afford to confuse debates over American declinism with lingering questions about American exceptionalism. His piercing insights about American exceptionalism during the age of Obama will resonate for years to come."
—Donald E. Abelson, The University of Western Ontario
"Mega kudos to Stephen Brooks for broaching such a touchy and controversial subject with admirable fairness, wonderful insight, and genuine erudition. Even experts in the field will learn a lot by reading this book."
