Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With a focus on participation, this second edition of State and Local Politics: 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 impact: 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.
