State and Local Politics

by W. B. Stouffer, Cynthia Opheim, Susan Bland Day

With a focus on participation, this second edition of State and Local The Individual and the Governments addresses readers as future leaders of their communities. Engaging and empowering readers throughout, this comprehensive text asserts that individual action makes a difference is what governmental does. From this premise comes a concern with reform, providing a lucid book that encourages individuals to study the institutions and process on which they are most likely to have an state and local governments. By placing coverage of states and cities in topical chapters - rather than the traditional model of separate state chapters followed by city chapters - the authors provide a cohesive, integrated approach that enables readers to place legislative principles in their proper context.
