Description: Politics and Policy in States and Communities presents a broad coherent, and readable analysis of state and local government. The cogent analytical theme focuses on political economy and the impact of social reform in states and communities.

Each chapter has a special section addressing one of these conflicts, from affirmative action to majority-minority districting.
