Engines of Democracy

Více o knize

Focusing on state legislative politics, the book offers an in-depth exploration of the individuals, dynamics, and influences shaping democracy at the state level. Alan Rosenthal combines extensive research with recent interviews to analyze representation, public perception of legislatures, and the interplay between legislative leaders and the executive branch. It contrasts the state-level policymaking process with that of Congress, providing unique insights into the roles of interest groups and lobbyists, alongside discussions of ethics and norms in governance.
