Description
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.
