Lone Star Politics: Theories, Concepts, and Political Activity in
Texas blends the history of political activity in the state with
theories that underlie and explain this activity. Through classic
and contemporary political literature, students learn about the
unique political culture that exists in Texas and how governments
at various levels function within it. Over the course of thirteen
chapters, students explore topics such as the evolution and impact
of the Texas Constitution, the Texas view of federalism, the role
of local governments in the state, and the role of the executive
branch. They study the legislature and judiciary, and see how
conservative ideology influences both public and social policy.
They become familiar with the state's economy, its political
parties, and their roles in the evolution of the state. The book
concludes with an examination of interest groups in the state and
the parts they play in the political system. The second edition
features new content on Texas demographic information for Asian and
Native American residents; e-governance; judicial powers; local,
county, and state courts; and educational funding and property
taxes. Lone Star Politics is ideal for classes on Texas government
that focus on the concepts and theories driving the state's
political activity.
