The Political World of a Small Town - A Mirror Image of American Politics (Hardcover, New): Nelson Wikstrom The Political World of a Small Town - A Mirror Image of American Politics (Hardcover, New)
Nelson Wikstrom
R2,693 Discovery Miles 26 930 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

This case study of a small town is the basis for a sweeping and broad analysis of the character of American politics and fills an important void in the literature when many of our national leaders are the product of small towns. This text for students in state and local government, urban government, and political sociology uses various methodological strategies and in-depth interviews with elites and average citizens to test nationwide data about the American political scene today and provides an incisive analysis of local political culture, electoral behavior, and socio-economic factors behind community leadership.

American Intergovernmental Relations - A Fragmented Federal Polity (Paperback): G. Ross Stephens, Nelson Wikstrom American Intergovernmental Relations - A Fragmented Federal Polity (Paperback)
G. Ross Stephens, Nelson Wikstrom
R2,360 Discovery Miles 23 600 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

The one constant in the American federal system is change--change that is not always beneficial. American Intergovernmental Relations: A Fragmented Federal Polity examines how the dynamic social, economic, and political forces that impinge on American government at all levels shape the way that our federal system functions.
Stephens and Wikstrom--both senior scholars specializing in federalism, intergovernmental relations, and fiscal policy--offer concise, comprehensive, and easy-to-understand coverage of these materials. Beginning with the key elements of federalism, the authors trace these principles as they have evolved since the founding of the republic and through the various phases and types of federal arrangements as they exist today. They examine and analyze the extreme complexity of the system and the cooperative and conflicting components of vertical and horizontal intergovernmental relations. Stephens and Wikstrom also discuss the impact of public policy and intergovernmental relations on American society in light of rising globalism, rapidly changing technology, and new security concerns. Featuring relevant case studies from the headlines, American Intergovernmental Relations is an ideal text for undergraduate and graduate courses in federalism and intergovernmental relations. It is also an excellent text for a different approach to a course in American government.
