Description:

Lone Star Politics delves into the state′s rich political tradition by exploring how myth often clashes with the reality of everyday governance. Explaining who gets what and how within the state, this Nacogdoches author team provides an engaging narrative on the evolution of Texas politics, utilizing the comparative method to set Texas in context with other states′ constitutions, policymaking, electoral practices, and institutions.

Responding to user demand, Ken Collier, Steven Galatas, and Julie Harrelson-Stephens have split or added chapters to provide more in-depth coverage of much-desired topics, including the legislature and legislative process, the governor and bureaucracy, parties and organized interests, as well as fiscal, criminal justice, and social policy. In addition, new chapter objectives and critical thinking questions reinforce learning and encourage analysis.

Beyond more depth and breadth, the new third edition now features a full-color design. Lone Star Politics delivers well-crafted and colorful content without breaking the bank.
