Summary
  • Using a comparative framework, Politics in Georgia examines four topics: the historical, social, economic, and constitutional foundations of contemporary Georgia politics; political participation, including public opinion, elections, political parties, and interest groups; major political institutions, including the legislature, governorship, bureaucracy, the legal system, and local government; and selected public policies, such as taxing and spending, education, economic development, and social welfare.
  • Rather than examining Georgia in isolation, Politics in Georgia compares the state with the national government and the other forty-nine states as well as with earlier periods, giving the reader a comprehensive history of the state's political development. This book is a useful and valuable resource for anyone interested in state and local politics, including scholars, university students, libraries, journalists, government officials, and civic and business organizations.
