Описание: This third edition of West Virginia Politics and Government offers a recent study of the changing dynamics of politics in the Mountain State. Since the publication of the second edition, West Virginia has gone from marginally blue to definitely red in both state and national elections: once a Democratic Party bastion, in the 2016 election Donald Trump carried West Virginia with one of the widest margins among the states. Economically West Virginia is also undergoing significant change as it moves toward a post-coal economy and an uncertain path of future development.
The state’s rural nature highlights some of the challenges involved in providing government services, promoting community development, fostering access to health care, and delivering public services in places that have seen population decline and economic distress. Combining new empirical information about political behavior with a close examination of the capacity of the state’s government, this edition is a comprehensive and pointed study of the state’s ability to respond to the needs of a largely rural and relatively low-income population.

Описание: This book explores the origins of democracy and the impact that autocratic legacies have after democratization. It examines why those who benefited under the previous dictatorship continue to do so after they step down from power. It therefore addresses longstanding questions that have appeal to academic, policy, and lay audiences.
Описание: Whereas border regions are often treated as marginal, Paul Nugent demonstrates through a comparison of two African sub-regions that they are in fact vital in the process of shaping state forms and forging social contracts. Border regions are fundamental to the making of regional and national economies and to patterns of contemporary urbanism.

Описание: This book is the first to examine what influences Congress across the hundreds of issues it deals with, and produces some surprising conclusions. Politics may be less of a battle between the public and organized interests than most people think - and what it means to be a democracy under such circumstances is very much an open question.

Описание:
Until recently, American legal historiography focused almost solely on national government. Although much of Kansas law reflects U.S. law, the state court’s arbitrary powers over labor-management conflicts, yellow dog contracts, civil rights, gender issues, and domestic relations set precedents that reverberated around the country. Sunflower Justice is a pioneering work that presents the history of a state through the use of its supreme court decisions as evidence.
R. Alton Lee traces Kansas’s legal history through 150 years of records, shedding light on the state’s political, economic, and social history in this groundbreaking overview of Kansas legal cases and judicial biographies. Beginning with the territorial justices and continuing through the late twentieth century, R. Alton Lee covers the dispossession of Native Americans’ land, the growth and impact of labor unions, antimonopoly cases against railroad and mining companies, a nine-year state ban on the movie Birth of a Nation, and implications and effects of desegregation, as well as the shooting of Dr. George Tiller for performing legal abortions. Because judicial decisions are not made in a vacuum, Lee presents each of the justices in the context of the era and their personal experiences before examining how their decisions shaped Kansas political, economic, social, and legal history.

Описание: In this new edited volume, Holger Henke and Fred Reno buildon their important collection ModernPolitical Culture in the Caribbean (2003) and revisit some of the themes inCaribbean political culture explored some eighteen years earlier. Thecontributors to New Political Culture in the Caribbean consider more recentdevelopments precipitating significant changes in the political attitudes anddiscourses in the region. Even the persistent themes in Caribbean politicallife – issues such as race, ethnicity, sovereignty, civil rights, or poverty –allow for new consideration, not only because of their longevity but alsobecause in their contemporary form they may speak to new dynamics in society orfind different forms of expression or political impact.The quality of political discourse – in terms of its contentand forms of presentation – has significantly shifted over the first decades ofthe twenty-first century, and the impact of social media and a concomitant riseof political fringe discourses have accelerated the fragmentation of the publicand polity, leading to sharper confrontations in the political sphere andgiving once again rise to crude forms of nationalism. There are also variousstressors and pressures that run counter to simplistic notions of nationalismand point to a great urgency for more transparent, sustainable, participatoryand equitable modalities of political engagement and discourses in theregion.
By analyzing how America’s greatest presidents displayed their mastery of statecraft, American Presidents in Diplomacy and War offers important lessons about the most effective uses of national power abroad.
American Presidents in Diplomacy and War chronicles the major foreign policy crises faced by twelve American presidents in order to uncover the reoccurring patterns of successful and less successful uses of diplomatic, economic, and military power. In this brief and highly readable book, Thomas Parker reveals how America’s most successful leaders manage events instead of allowing events to control them.
Parker explores how the U.S. presidency, from the days of the early Republic to the present, shaped the world. Ranging from Presidents George Washington to George H. W. Bush, Parker shows how successful statecraft requires the understanding of complex situations, the prudent evaluation of various courses of action, the ability to adapt and to anticipate, and personal determination. Parker compares each of these leaders to their contemporaries—reasonable political leaders who nonetheless made serious mistakes, such as Thomas Jefferson and Barack Obama—to examine the dangers of being unable to strike the right balance of aggressiveness and caution and to examine the costs of inexperience and ambivalence towards military power. The book concludes by discussing the increasingly complex international situation of today, particularly the manifold challenges posed by China and Russia to U.S. foreign policy, and the continued necessity of effective statecraft.

Описание: Looking beyond the individual office holders to the office itself, this Fourth Edition of Vital Statistics on the Presidency allows readers to recognize major themes across presidential administrations and to reach overall conclusions about the nature of the institution and its future.
Описание: Prior to 1960, presidential nominees were largely selected in the infamous "smoke filled rooms" of state party conventions. In 1960 two serious contenders for the Democratic nomination, Hubert Humphrey and John F. Kennedy, realized their weaknesses with party bosses would make this path nearly impossible. For Kennedy his youth, his Catholic faith, and his aloofness toward party leaders would undermine his campaign. For Humphrey his strong positions on civil rights would cost him support in the vital South. This work focuses on the Wisconsin and West Virginia Primaries, the only two in which both candidates competed. Original manuscript sources illuminate the differences between Kennedy's well financed, well organized campaign and Humphrey's more amateurish effort. These sources, along with a wealth of newspaper sources, also offer fascinating anecdotes of life on the campaign trail.
