Download or read book Texas Government written by Kim Quaile Hill and published by Arden Shakespeare. This book was released on 1993 with total page 304 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Through Texas Government: Politics and Economics, you'll learn about the critical implications for state governments of recent social, political, and economic trends in America. According to authors Kim Quaile Hill and Kenneth R. Mladenka, nowhere is this connection more apparent than in the state of Texas. Much more than a look at the structure of the state's government institutions, this book places Texas government and politics within a broad context. Hill and Mladenka explore the implications of such political and economic changes and challenges in Texas as: cultural diversity of the state's population; the movement from a rural, agricultural state to a highly industrialized state; the decline of the oil and gas industries; declining federal government aid for and regulation of state governments; and growing Republican Party power in state government. Based on the best of recent scholarship, this fourth edition includes new material on attempts to reinvent the Texas state bureaucracy; the passage of NAFTA and its implications for the state's economy; the selected reorganizations of state agencies in recent sessions of the legislature; the continuing success of the state lottery and its importance for state revenues; and the 1994 gubernatorial and other state elections.

This book was released on 2012-06-04 with total page 462 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “Gail Collins is the funniest serious political commentator in America. Reading As Texas Goes… is pure pleasure from page one.” —Rachel Maddow A Kirkus Reviews Best Book of the Year (Nonfiction) As Texas Goes . . . provides a trenchant yet often hilarious look into American politics and the disproportional influence of Texas, which has become the model for not just the Tea Party but also the Republican Party. Now with an expanded introduction and a new concluding chapter that will assess the influence of the Texas way of thinking on the 2012 election, Collins shows how the presidential race devolved into a clash between the so-called “empty places” and the crowded places that became a central theme in her book. The expanded edition will also feature more examples of the Texas style, such as Governor Rick Perry’s nearsighted refusal to accept federal Medicaid funding as well as the proposed ban on teaching “critical thinking” in the classroom. As Texas Goes . . . will prove to be even more relevant to American politics by the dawn of a new political era in January 2013.
