City Politics

Praised for the clarity of its writing, careful research, and distinctive theme - that urban politics in the United States has evolved as a dynamic interaction between governmental power, private actors, and a politics of identity - City Politics remains a classic study of urban politics retaining the effective structure of past editions while offering important updates. Taught on its own, or supplemented with optional reader American Urban Politics in a Global Age for more advanced readers, City Politics remains the definitive text on urban politics - and how they have evolved in the US over time - for a new generation of students and researchers.
