Urban Politics
Routledge (Verlag)
978-1-138-60434-6 (ISBN)
the importance of the intergovernmental city
the role of local governments as active policy actors and vital policy makers even in areas outside traditional municipal policy concerns
the prospects for urban policy and change in and beyond the Trump administration, including the ways in which urban politics is affected by, but not determined by, Washington.
Mixing classic theory and research on urban politics with the most recent developments and data in urban and metropolitan affairs, Urban Politics, 10e is an ideal introductory textbook for students of metropolitan and regional politics and policy. The book’s material on citizen participation, urban bureaucracy, policy analysis, and intergovernmental relations also makes the volume an appropriate choice for Urban Administration courses.
