The cornerstone of the American republic is an educated, active,
and engaged citizenry; however, the multifaceted inner workings of
government and the political forces that shape it are incredibly
complex. Kentucky Government, Politics, and Public Policy is the
first book in nearly three decades to provide a comprehensive
overview of the commonwealth's major governing and political
institutions and the public policy issues that profoundly affect
Kentuckians' daily lives. In this groundbreaking volume, editors
James C. Clinger and Michael W. Hail have assembled respected
scholars from across the state to inform citizens about their
governing institutions, the consequences of their policy choices,
and the intricacies of the political process. They provide clear
and authoritative information on Kentucky's government and explain
significant trends and patterns, exploring the legacy of the
state's political history and illuminating the contributions of
influential Kentucky politicians such as Henry Clay, Abraham
Lincoln, and Jefferson Davis. The contributors also address
essential topics such as the structure and function of the three
branches of government, the constitution, and federalism and
intergovernmental relations, as well as administration, budgeting,
and finance. They analyze key issues in education policy, economic
and community development, and health care in great detail,
explaining persistently controversial topics such as campaign
finance, the cost of elections, ethics, and the oversight of
regulatory agencies. From the executive branch to the legislature,
from the court system to political parties, there is no better
primer on government in the commonwealth.
