America's State Governments : A Critical Look at Disconnected Democracies Hardback
by Jennifer Bachner, Benjamin Ginsberg
Hardback
Description
This timely and important new work takes a critical look at government in the American states and illustrates the disconnect between state government institutions and their constituents.
The text illuminates three basic political problems of state governments: weak constitutional and institutional foundations; a lack of civic engagement; and long histories of unchecked public corruption.
In addition, the book explains why some states did and others did not respond promptly to the COVID-19 pandemic and examines America's long-standing problem of police and prosecutorial misconduct–providing a context for understanding the demonstrations and protests that rocked American cities in the summer of 2020.
For students and citizens of state politics, the book concludes with a proposal aimed at civic literacy and action
