Tucked between the larger commonwealths of Pennsylvania and
Virginia and overshadowed by the political maneuverings of its
neighbor, Washington, D.C., Maryland has often been overlooked and
neglected in studies of state governmental systems. With the
publication of "Maryland Politics and Government," the challenging
demographic diversity, geographic variety, and dynamic Democratic
pragmatism of Maryland finally get their due.
Two longtime political analysts, Herbert C. Smith and John T.
Willis, conduct a sustained inquiry into topics including the
Maryland identity, political history, and interest groups; the
three branches of state government; and policy areas such as
taxation, spending, transportation, and the environment. Smith and
Willis also establish a "Two Marylands" model that explains the
dominance of the Maryland Democratic Party, established in the
post-Civil War era, that persists to this day even in a time of
political polarization. Unique in its scope, detail, and coverage,
"Maryland Politics and Government" sets the standard for
understanding the politics of the Free State (or, alternately, the
Old Line State) for years to come.
