This book was released on 2012-02-14 with total page 512 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This brief text distinguishes itself through its highly accessible writing style, inclusion of unique topics such as tribal governments, extensive discussion of intergovernmental relations, and its focus on the relationship between government and the governed--how individuals are affected by government decisions and how individuals influence public policy ("face-to-face" approach). As the authors have done in previous editions, their "face-to-face" approach to the study of state and local governments personalizes the material, connects government to students' lives, and makes the material more meaningful and relevant to the student. Teaching & Learning Experience Personalize Learning MySearchLab with eText provides book-specific assessment, a full eText, and research and writing tools to help students improve their results. Explore Concepts and Current Events The challenges and political upheavals of the Great Recession at the state and local levels are connected to the impact that they have had on policy and to each student as a citizen. Improve Critical Thinking - The pedagogical tools in each chapter encourage deeper engagement with the material and critical analysis of the content. Particularly popular are the debate forums and the Internet suggestions that are included in each of the substantive chapters. Engage Students The authors' "face-to-face" approach draws on connections to students' own lives and experiences such as being pulled over for speeding; getting a fishing license; having trash collected, streets cleaned, and snow plowed; or going to a public school. Emphasize Learning Outcomes - Learning Objectives at the beginning of each chapter help students to focus their reading. Instructor Support - An Instructor's Manual/Test Bank and PowerPoint presentations provide instructors with a full supplements package.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Politics in States and Communities is distinguished by its focus on politics, its comparative approach, its concern with explanation, its interest in policy, and its focus on conflicts in states and communities and the structures and processes designed to manage conflict. Several themes are carried on throughout the book that emphasize the importance of politics at the state and community level including the "conflict management" theme which emphasizes the sources and nature of conflict in society, how key decision makers act in conflict situations, and how "politicos" emerge and determine "who gets what." An equally important theme is that states and communities in America play an important role in the political life of the nation. This text illustrates that state and local governments do more than merely provide certain services such as education, road building, or fire protection. They also perform a vital political function by helping to resolve conflicts of interest in American society. This book includes multiple instructional features designed to provide timeliness and relevance, to capture readers' attention and interest, to involve students interactively with political questions, and to aid in the study of state and local politics. While the instructional features should aid in teaching state and local politics, the text material is not "dumbed down." It still includes the most important research by scholars in the field.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this Fourth Edition of STATE AND LOCAL POLITICS: INSTITUTIONS AND REFORM, Donovan, Smith, Mooney, and new co-author Tracy Osborn go beyond the purely descriptive treatment usually found in state and local texts. Offering an engaging comparative approach, the Fourth Edition shows you how politics and government differ between states and communities, and points out the causes and effects of those variations. The text also focuses on what social scientists know about the effects of rules and institutions on politics and policy. This comparative, institutional framework enables you to think more analytically about the impact of institutions on policy outcomes, asks you to evaluate the effectiveness of one institutional approach over another, and encourages you to consider more sophisticated solutions.
