Free Downloads State And Local Politics: Institutions And Reform
In this Fourth Edition of STATE AND LOCAL POLITICS: INSTITUTIONS AND REFORM, Donovan, Smith, Mooney, and new co-author Tracy Osborn go beyond the purely descriptive treatment usually found in state and local texts. Offering an engaging comparative approach, the Fourth Edition shows you how politics and government differ between states and communities, and points out the causes and effects of those variations. The text also focuses on what social scientists know about the effects of rules and institutions on politics and policy. This comparative, institutional framework enables you to think more analytically about the impact of institutions on policy outcomes, asks you to evaluate the effectiveness of one institutional approach over another, and encourages you to consider more sophisticated solutions. Written by four young, high-profile specialists who have contributed significantly to the field in the last decade, STATE AND LOCAL POLITICS: INSTITUTIONS AND REFORM incorporates the most recent scholarship available into the course, giving you access to perspectives that no other textbook on the market currently provides.

I rented this book for my U.S. government class and I found it to be very informational and easy to understand. I actually enjoyed reading this book for class and found myself reading way more than my professor requested. I was fearful that by renting the book I would receive a book in horrible condition but I was proven wrong. The book looked as if it were in brand new condition! Worth the buy!
Seemed, well, a bit biased on some things, but for a book teaching you about our local governments, it was well done.
Exactly how it was described.
