Description
This reader is designed to illustrate specific themes within government. Readings and Cases juxtaposes selected texts from scholarly literature with case studies from popular publications to first define the concept at hand, then to illustrate how the concept is applied in contemporary society. Each of the sixteen chapters follows a user-friendly structure. First, a major topic within the study of state and local politics is introduced, followed by two readings culled from outside sources, and concluding with a concise summary highlighting the salient points introduced. The result is one text that examines major themes in both a classic and contemporary context. Chapter introductions present a brief statement from the author that explains the connection between the reading and case study. Headnotes introduce each reading and indicate how the selection relates to the chapter's overall theme. Chapter review questions and suggestions for further reading are featured in the end-of-chapter pedagogy. A topic correlation chart is included to help instructors structure their course and assign appropriate readings.
