Policy Making and Southern Distinctiveness examines the uniqueness
of southern politics and their policy choices. While decades of
scholarship on the politics of the American South have focused on
partisanship and electoral outcomes as the primary elements of
interest in southern politics, few works have focused on the more
practical outcomes of these political processes, specifically,
comparing state policy choices of southern states to non-southern
states. This book examines six different policy arenas: voting
access, gun control, health care, reproductive rights, water, and
COVID-19 pandemic response, comparing policy choices in states in
the South with states in the non-South. The authors find that the
South is distinct in several, but not all, of the policy arenas
examined. They conclude that the South as a region is unique
because of the exceptional degree of one-party control evident in
the South, coupled with a long-standing preoccupation with
partisanship and race-based politics. Policy Making and Southern
Distinctiveness provides valuable insights into how and why states
behave in the manner they do and where southern states may diverge
from the rest of the country. It will be of interest to scholars of
southern politics, state comparative policy, public policy,
American politics, and federalism/intergovernmental relations.
