Politics in the American States examines the breadth of state government and politics -- from governors to interest groups to tax policy. The book presents a wealth of data on various features of state politics so the reader can make comparisons across the 50 states.
This new seventh edition has been extensively revised and updated throughout to incorporate the latest data -- including new census and electoral data -- and to reflect new scholarship and recent developments.
