New York remains the Empire State. Its trillion dollar economy
makes the state a national-and often world-leader in banking,
finance, publishing, soft services (law, accounting, insurance,
consulting), higher education, culture, and the arts. With more
than one in five of its residents having immigrated from elsewhere,
New York State is an ethnic and social harbinger for an
increasingly diverse nation. Recent years have found it, like many
other big states, challenged to achieve effective governance. How
is, can, or should such a state be governed? What is its history?
What is its future? The Oxford Handbook of New York State
Government and Politics offers an unusually comprehensive,
detailed, and systematic study of this unique and influential
state.
The thirty-one chapters in The Oxford Handbook of New York State
Government and Politics assemble new scholarship in key areas of
governance in New York, document the state's record in comparison
to other US states, and identify directions for future research.
Following editor Gerald Benjamin's introduction, the handbook
chapters are organized in five sections that look at the state
constitution, state political processes, state governmental
institutions, intergovernmental relations, and management and
policy areas. Chapters address a wide array of topics including
political parties, campaign finance policy, public opinion polling,
elections and election management, lobbying and interest group
systems, the state legislature, the governorship, the judiciary,
the state's "foreign policy," education, health care policy, public
safety, economic development, transportation policy, energy policy,
and more. A final chapter, compiled by the state archivist,
consists of a most extensive annotated bibliography of resources on
state history, state political history, the state constitution, and
state political processes. Chapter authors include both scholars of
New York State and current and former state officials.
