Description

Praised for the clarity of its writing, careful research, and distinctive theme – that urban politics in the United States has evolved as a dynamic interaction among governmental power, private actors, and a politics of identity – the Seventh Edition of this text brings city politics of the global era into sharp focus by tracing the continuous development of urban America from the nation’s founding to the present.

Judd and Swanstrom argue that the politics of growth, the politics of governance, and enclave politics are the three imperatives that dissolve the past and present into a singular, continuous narrative.

Features

The text's three-part approach provides important historical background from the nation's founding in 1789 through the Great Depression of the 1930s; an in-depth look at the crisis of the 20th century; and the effects of a globalized economy on the metropolis.

Strong and original thematic structure

Thorough blending of the vast secondary literature with primary sources, including new data and original author research

Boxed “Out Takes” appear in each chapter to highlight the major theme of the chapter and to make abstract concepts concrete.

Package Judd & Kantor's reader, American Urban Politics in a Global Age, 6/e with City Politics and receive a discount on the package price. The reader is the perfect complement for this main text, amplifying and going into greater depth on key concepts.
