By leveraging a variety of recent case studies about the contestation of civil rights and public goods and utilizing several novel datasets, Savage and Sutherland present a comprehensive understanding of California local politics as it stands in the twenty-first century. Specifically, they provide one of the first studies dedicated to examining the opinions and perceptions held by special district representatives about the nature of their roles as community representatives, and they expand upon theories of participation at the local level pertaining to issue and office salience for different demographic and political groups.
California Politics Is Local brings a fresh perspective to students and scholars of urban affairs, political institutions, civic engagement, and public policy in the Golden State.
Reviews / Votes
Special districts are California's hidden governments, but they are vital venues for shaping some of the most salient issues in our daily lives. California Politics is Local unveils the surprising ways in which school boards and other special districts operate, tracing the patterns in political participation that give some motivated voters outsized influence over them as well as the fundamentally different ways that elected or appointed members view their representative duties. Combining novel quantitative evidence with an in-depth study drawn from today's curriculum wars, it provides a comprehensive view of a key part of our state's democracy.Thad Kousser, Professor of Political Science, University of California San Diego
Despite being the largest electoral institution, electing the most individuals to office, local elections are overlooked and undervalued in the US political system. California Politics is Local offers a fresh approach to local elections, including special district elections, and the perceptions and attitudes of those holding these positions. It is an informative book for students and scholars of local politics, political participation, and representation.
Gayle A. Alberda, Associate Professor of Politics, Fairfield University
