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.
Drawing on the history of state and local government in the New York Tri-State metropolitan region, the authors present a pathbreaking new theory about the values reformers must understand and balance in order to tackle the hard challenges of reforming and regionalizing local governance in the complex, dynamic world of American politics and public policy. Their examination of the way 2,179 local governments in the Tri-State region have evolved over more than a century pays special attention to New York City, but is applicable to other metropolitan areas. It brings to life ideas that are crucial to a subject that in the academic literature is often treated in a way that is abstract and hard to grasp. This is a valuable book for scholars, political leaders, and students interested in regionalism in metropolitan America and in the fascinating history and governance of the nations largest city and its vast metropolitan region.
