Editorial Reviews

Product Description

The Essentials version of State and Local Government shares its thematic structure and approach with the bestselling full-length text of the same name, providing condensed yet comprehensive coverage of local government and public policy issues. The authors explain the structures of state and local government--including historical perspective--as well as the function of each in the current political scene. Through engaging coverage of current events and an accessible writing style, the text fosters student interest and involvement in state and local politics and policy. For instructors who prefer a more streamlined text or for those who teach one-semester courses, The Essentials features six fewer chapters than its full-length counterpart--and a limited focus on policy.


About the Author

Ann O'M. Bowman (Ph.D., University of Florida, 1979) is James F. and Maude B. Byrnes Professor of Government & Vice Chair of political science at the University of South Carolina. She has gained wide recognition as an authority in state and local environmental policy. She regularly publishes articles on state and local policy innovation, state economic development policy, and inner-city revitalization, and is co-author (with Richard Kearney) of The Resurgence of the States. Currently, she is studying interstate interactions and "green" cities. She has taught state, local, and urban politics to undergraduates for almost twenty years.

In addition to publishing extensively on topics such as state and local government, intergovernmental relations, and public administration, Richard C. Kearney has written, co-written, or co-edited six books, including The RESURGENCE OF STATES (with Ann O'M. Bowman). He received his Ph.D. from the University of Oklahoma in 1977 and has taught the undergraduate course in state and local government for more than fifteen years.
