Book Description

The 15th edition of Politics in States and Communities is distinguished from previous editions by its concentration on politics, its use of a comparative approach, its concern with providing an exhaustive explanation, its interest in policy, and its emphasis on conflicts that occur in states and communities. Several themes are developed further throughout the book to emphasize the significance of politics at the local and state levels. One of these themes is “conflict management,” which focuses on the causes and characteristics of conflict in society; how key decision makers respond when faced with conflict; and how “politicos” emerge and decide “who gets what.”
