Packed with up-to-date coverage of the latest issues, Newell/Prindle/Riddlesperger's TEXAS POLITICS: IDEAL AND REALITY, 14th Edition, helps you see how state politics impact your everyday life. Timely and relevant, it explores the Texas government through the lenses of three main themes: the ideals of democratic theory, political conservatism and private influence over public policy. Thoroughly updated, it offers insightful coverage of the 2020 election results and their bizarre aftermath, voting versus abstention, immigration, climate change, the fight over mandatory child vaccinations, the ongoing debate surrounding capital punishment, the Legislature's increasing partisan polarization, the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on state politics and much more.
