Description

Politics in States and Communities is distinguished by its focus on politics, its comparative approach, its concern with explanation, its interest in policy, and its focus on conflicts in states and communities and the structures and processes designed to manage conflict.

 

Several themes are carried on throughout the book that emphasize the importance of politics at the state and community level including the “conflict management” theme which emphasizes the sources and nature of conflict in society, how key decision makers act in conflict situations, and how “politicos” emerge and determine “who gets what.”

 

An equally important theme is that states and communities in America play an important role in the political life of the nation. This text illustrates that state and local governments do more than merely provide certain services such as education, road building, or fire protection. They also perform a vital political function by helping to resolve conflicts of interest in American society.

 

This book includes multiple instructional features designed to provide timeliness and relevance, to capture students’ attention and interest, to involve students interactively with political questions, and to aid in the study of state and local politics. While the instructional features should aid in teaching state and local politics, the text material is not “dumbed down.” It still includes the most important research by scholars in the field.

 

 


Features

  • “Questions to Consider”  Each chapter opens with a set of questions for students to think about as they read through the material. These questions include factual queries as well as opinion surveys, which are deliberately designed to inspire debate. For example, students are asked to consider whether states should deny welfare benefits to illegal aliens or whether they generally favor affirmative action. Many of these interactive questions are also found on the Web site (www.prenhall.com/dye). After students answer the questions online, they can immediately see how their peers around the country answered the same questions.
  • “People in Politics”  These features are designed to personalize politics for students, to illustrate to them that the participants in the struggle for power are real people. They discuss where prominent people in politics went to school, how they got started in politics, how their careers developed, and how much power they came to possess. Examples include California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger; Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa; Rudolph Giuliani; Massachusetts Governor Deval Patrick, Florida Supreme Court Justice Peggy Quince, Mayor Michael Bloomberg, Florida’s state party chairwomen Karen Thurman (D) and Texas state party chairwoman Tina Benkiser (R); and the late Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.
  • “Up Close”  These features illustrate the struggle over who gets what. They range over a wide variety of current political conflicts, such as federalism and the drinking age, state constitutions and the right to bear arms, the firing of state employees, political corruption, and the rise and fall of TennCare,
  • “Rankings of the States”  Comparative analysis is used throughout the text both to describe and to explain differences among states and communities in governmental structure, political processes, and public policy. Through the Rankings of the States boxes, students can observe their own state in relation to all other states.
  • “Did You Know?”  These features, designed to be both instructive and entertaining, inform students about various aspects of American states and communities—everything from state birds, songs, flowers, and nicknames to ratings for the “most livable” and best-educated states.
  • Chapter Pedagogy  Each chapter contains a running glossary in the margin and Web information designed to help students better master the information as they read and review the chapters.
