In this Third Edition of STATE AND LOCAL POLITICS: INSTITUTIONS AND
REFORM, Donovan, Mooney, and Smith go beyond the purely descriptive
treatment usually found in state and local texts. Offering an
engaging comparative approach, the Third Edition shows students how
politics and government differ between states and communities, and
points out the causes and effects of those variations. The text
also focuses on what social scientists know about the effects of
rules and institutions on politics and policy. This comparative,
institutional framework enables students to think more analytically
about the impact of institutions on policy outcomes, asks them to
evaluate the effectiveness of one institutional approach over
another, and encourages them to consider more sophisticated
solutions. Written by three young, high-profile specialists who
have contributed significantly to the field in the last decade,
STATE AND LOCAL POLITICS: INSTITUTIONS AND REFORM incorporates the
most recent scholarship available into the course, giving students
access to perspectives that no other textbook on the market
currently provides.
