This text uses political culture, political factors, and economic indicators to explain how state government operates and why states enact certain kinds of public policies. "Scholarly Boxes" and topical articles by Neal Peirce are unique and compelling features. The book cites current academic research, but the writing style is geared to college freshmen and sophomores.
