State legislators have often been in the shadow of their national
counterparts, but they drive the processes of democracy. Rosenthal
brings together a lifetime of research and experience on state
legislative politics into one eminently readable volume-a dynamic,
inside view of the people involved, the politics that prevail, and
the interest groups and lobbyists who advocate their causes.
Building on earlier work with new data and recent interviews and
observations, Rosenthal looks at the way representation works,
Americans' critical view of their legislatures, the role of
legislative leaders, the dynamics of executive-legislative
relationships, as well as norms and ethics. Both a complement and
contrast to the policymaking process on Capitol Hill, Engines of
Democracy proves that no one gives insight into state legislators
and their work the way Alan Rosenthal can.
