ISBN: 9780803260887 / Angielski / Miękka / 409 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Michigan, like most of the states formed from the old Northwest, originated as a state of farmers, fishermen, and lumbermen and remained so until Detroit emerged as a major industrial center at the turn of the twentieth century. The growth of the automotive industry attracted new immigrants and new politics. Republican for most of its history, Michigan became a bipartisan state with political divisions: upper versus lower peninsula, agriculture versus industry, labor versus capital, developers versus ecologists, and conflicts between races. Lansing and its lobbyists and political action...

ISBN: 9780803264366 / Angielski / Miękka / 348 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The political culture of Oregon has long had a reputation for innovative policy, maverick politicians, and independent political thought, but instead of using the term "progressive" to describe the state's political leanings, the editors of Oregon Politics and Government believe a more accurate descriptor would be "schizophrenic." Oregon Politics and Government provides not only an overview of the state's politics and government; it also explains how the divide between progressives and conservative populists defines Oregon politics today.

ISBN: 9780803279711 / Angielski / Miękka / 235 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Two values often at odds with each other-competition and compassion-dominate New York's political culture. Since the eighteenth century New York has been known for its economic leadership and entrepreneurial opportunities. Its nickname, "the Empire State," reflects the state's continuing role as a national and international center of industry and commerce. Yet New York's political culture, as Daniel J. Elazar has noted, is paradoxically both individualistic and moralistic. Compassion is extended not only toward those unable to compete in the marketplace but also toward the numerous interest...

Rhode Island Politics & Government
ISBN: 9780803282704 / Angielski / Miękka / 262 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Rhode Island is the smallest state in the union, yet it is also one of the most densely populated. Its political culture has until recently resembled the old-style patronage politics of a city-state. The Ocean State's politics have been highly individualistic, contentious, and distinct from those of surrounding states since its founding by Roger Williams. The state's individualism is embodied in the statue - The Independent Man - that stands atop its statehouse. Rhode Island Politics and Government is an essential introduction to the history, structure, and characteristics of politics in...

This book provides a detailed analytic history of direct legislation--the initiative and referendum--in California from its origins in the late nineteenth century to the present day.

Public Opinion in State Politics
ISBN: 9780804753005 / Angielski / Twarda / 304 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Since the Reagan presidency, more and more public policymaking authority has devolved to the states, a trend that the contributors to this volume argue is unlikely to abate soon.

It updates and expands the previous work on public opinion and state politics, taking into account new data and methods, and drawing comparisons across states. The book is organized around three major themes: the conceptualization and measurement of public...

A prominent Louisiana political scientist makes plain the reasons for the state's political peculiarities. In the popular American imagination, Louisiana may come closer than any other state to offering the experience of a foreign culture--a Spanish-moss-draped netherland filled with friendly but vaguely threatening Cajuns, seething creature-infested swamps, the whirling masked chaos of Mardi Gras, seductive N'awlins cadences, and most vividly, even pruriently, the train wreck of Louisiana politics: cash-under-the-table shenanigans, fat and sassy environmental polluters,...

But is sex really an accurate predictor of a legislator's political choices and actions? In this book, Beth Reingold compares the representational activities and attitudes of male and female members of the Arizona and California state legislatures to illuminate the broader implications of the election and integration of women into public office. In the process, she challenges many of the assumptions that underlie...
