Description
For courses in Texas government.
Examine Texas politics in historical, economic and demographic contexts
Government and Politics in the Lone Star State guides students through the historical, economic and demographic environments that have made Texas government and political culture what it is. Drawing on their experiences in political science, journalism and consulting, the authors explain Texas’s governmental institutions, the players who influence them and how these factors compare to those in other states.
The 12th Edition has been updated to reflect the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on Texas citizens and institutions, the state’s response to the pandemic, and the 2020 election results.
