Urban Politics blends the most insightful classic and current
political science and related literature with current issues in
urban affairs. The book's integrative theme is 'power,'
demonstrating that the study of urban politics requires an
analysist to look beyond the formal institutions and procedures of
local government. The book also develops important subthemes: the
impact of globalization; the dominance of economic development over
competing local policy concerns; the continuing importance of race
in the urban arena; local government activism versus the 'limits'
imposed on local action by the American constitutional system and
economic competition; and the impact of national and state
government action on cities. Urban Politics engages students with
pragmatic case studies and boxed material that use classic and
current urban films and TV shows to illustrate particular aspects
of urban politics. The book's substantial concluding discussion of
local policies for environmental sustainability and green cities
also appeals to today's students. Each chapter has been thoroughly
rewritten to clearly relate the content to current events and
academic literature, including the following: the importance of the
intergovernmental city the role of local governments as active
policy actors and vital policy makers even in areas outside
traditional municipal policy concerns the prospects for urban
policy and change in and beyond the Trump administration, including
the ways in which urban politics is affected by, but not determined
by, Washington. Mixing classic theory and research on urban
politics with the most recent developments and data in urban and
metropolitan affairs, Urban Politics, 10e is an ideal introductory
textbook for students of metropolitan and regional politics and
policy. The book's material on citizen participation, urban
bureaucracy, policy analysis, and intergovernmental relations also
makes the volume an appropriate choice for Urban Administration
courses.
