Download or read book State And Local Politics written by Dennis Joseph Deeb, II and published by . This book was released on 2020-06-08 with total page 254 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Before deciding to run for elective office, you need to understand how state and local government works in your community. Many of these are illustrative academic lessons that Professor Deeb teaches regularly in his state and local politics courses at Bunker Hill Community College and the University of Massachusetts Lowell. What makes this book different is that Professor Deeb ties in many of the lessons that he learned with his own personal experiences in state and local politics. He mentions names and cites real experiences. Many of the names cited are still in office or active in state and local politics. This is an informative work on the structure and functions of state and local government, a how-to-guide in running for office, and a case study of rules to follow while in office. It provides real-world lessons of what to expect when dealing with constituents and other officials.

Book excerpt: In this text, the authors present current information on states and localities. Similarities between states make meaningful comparison possible. But their differences, in terms of institutional structures, laws and regulations, culture and history, demographics, economy, and geography, provide the perspective needed to answer crucial questions about politics and government. This textbook for the introductory course provides current coverage of state political institutions, processes, behavior, and public policy. Starting with the essentials, the authors cover the institutional bases of state and local governments from federalism to constitutions to the legislatures, executives, and the courts; as well as the ins and outs of party politics, elections, voting behavior, and political culture. They then discuss key policy areas such as finances and budgeting, education, health and welfare, and crime in detail.
