Politics and Government in the Golden State

Democracy in California: Politics and Government in the Golden State uses historical analysis, statistical data, and philosophical inquiry to provide a rich analysis of the complicated world of California politics. Recognizing that the introductory course may be the only political science course many students will take, the authors seek to connect the day-to-day experiences of living and working in California with the grand issues of the American experience. As with past editions, the fifth edition continues its emphasis on policy-oriented, politically relevant scholarship. Other updates include: Analysis of the 2016 and 2018 state election outcomes and ballot initiatives, The latest on California's immigration policy and its status as a "sanctuary state", A closer look at the legacy of Jerry Brown upon the completion of his second eight-year term as governor, More on the role of California as the standard-bearer of the "blue state" model of governance, New "Issue Highlight" case studies including affirmative action, the decline of local news reporting, and California's "top two" primary Book jacket.
