Description
In this Fourth Edition of STATE AND LOCAL POLITICS: INSTITUTIONS AND REFORM, Donovan, Smith, Mooney, and new co-author Tracy Osborne go beyond the purely descriptive treatment usually found in state and local texts. Offering an engaging comparative approach, the Fourth Edition shows students 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 students to think more analytically about the impact of institutions on policy outcomes, asks them to evaluate the effectiveness of one institutional approach over another, and encourages them 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 students access to perspectives that no other textbook on the market currently provides.教学资源：PPT、教师手册、题库、Final Exam - Tutorial Quiz。 教学资源目前仅能提供给老师，获取方式如下： 1. 邮箱获取：将教辅需求发邮件至asia.infochina@cengage.com 2. 电话获取：010-83435111 3. 微信获取：关注我们的公众号，会由客服人员答疑解惑 公众号名称：圣智教育服务中心 微信号：Cengage_Learning 4.
