Politics and Policy in States and Communities (7th Edition)

Harrigan, John J. and Nice, David C., Politics and Policy in States and Communities, 7th Edition*\ With a theme of "rejuvenation and reform" this up-to-date, highly-readable text focuses on twin perspectives: the political economy of state and local politics, and the impact of political reformism on states and communities. This book studies reformism and its consequences as they relate to the legal, cultural, and financial framework of state and community politics, as well as their effect on citizen influence, community politics, and the institutions of state government. For those interested in American politics.
