Gambling, prostitution and bootlegging have been going on in
Steubenville for well over one hundred years. Its Water Street
red-light district drew men from hundreds of miles away, as well as
underage runaways. The white slave trade was rampant, and along
with all the vice crimes, murders became a weekly occurrence. Law
enforcement seemed to turn a blind eye, and cries of political
corruption were heard in the state capital. This scenario replayed
itself over and over again during the past century as mobsters and
madams ruled and murders plagued the city and county at an alarming
rate. Newspapers nationwide would come to nickname this mecca of
murder "Little Chicago."
Elgar Advanced Introductions are stimulating and thoughtful
introductions to major fields in the social sciences, business and
law, expertly written by the world's leading scholars. Designed to
be accessible yet rigorous, they offer concise and lucid surveys of
the substantive and policy issues associated with discrete subject
areas. Jon Pierre and Guy Peters expertly guide the reader through
governance - one of the most widely used terms in political science
- and its differing interpretations, with comprehensive discussion
of the key issues covering global as well as local level
governance. A detailed look into what constitutes 'good
governance', whether produced by a government or by more informal
means, is also explored. Key features include: examination of what
governance is, how it is created and the differing styles of
governance how governance is becoming more collaborative between
governments and the private sector an investigation into the
governance process and outcomes, including topics such as
bargaining, negotiation and the use of political power. This
insightful Advanced Introduction will be an excellent resource for
both graduates and undergraduates studying governance and political
science. It will also be a useful guide for academics who are
interested in governance and who need a concise introduction.
