Unlike most competing texts that are densely written and heavily
theoretical, with little flavor of political life, this book is a
readable, jargon-free introduction to real-life local politics for
today's students. While it encompasses local government and
politics in cities and towns across America, "Local Politics: A
Practical Guide to Governing at the Grassroots" gives special
attention to the politics of suburbia, where many students live,
and encourages them to become engaged in their own communities. The
book is also distinguished by its strong emphasis on nuts-and-bolts
practical politics. It provides focused discussion of institutions,
roles, and personalities as well as the dynamic environment of
local politics (demographics, immigration, globalization, etc.) and
major policy issues (budgets, land use, transportation, education,
etc.). Other texts treat communities as abstractions and readers as
passive observers. "Local Politics: A Practical Guide to Governing
at the Grassroots" is designed to inspire civic engagement as well
as understanding. It features "In Your Community" research projects
for students in every chapter along with informative tables, clear
charts, essential terms, and guides to useful websites.
