When it comes to voting, taxes, environmental regulations, social services, education, criminal justice, political parties, property rights, gun control, marriage and a whole host of other modern American issues, the state in which a citizen resides makes a difference. That idea-that the political decisions made by those in state-level offices are of tremendous importance to the lives of people whose states they govern-is the fundamental concept explored in this book. Gary F. Moncrief and Peverill Squire introduce students to the very tangible and constantly evolving implications, limitations, and foundations of America' s state political institutions, and accessibly explain the ways that the political powers of the states manifest themselves in the cultures, economies, and lives of everyday Americans, and always will.
[T]he best of the state and local texts. And it' s not particularly close. --Dave Claborn, Howard Payne University Why States Matter is a clear, engaging text that helps students understand the central role states play in politics and citizens' lives. Both more approachable and more substantive than a traditional undergraduate textbook, Why States Matter will draw students in and help them to better appreciate the role of states. --Nicole Shoaf, Missouri Southern State University Why States Matter is an accessible and engaging introduction to state politics using a comparative approach. The authors incorporate research and current events to explain state politics and policymaking. The text outlines the important role of states in US policymaking while also highlighting the issues and challenges facing state governments. --Jaclyn Kettler, Boise State University
Peverill Squire holds the Hicks and Martha Griffiths Chair in American Political Institutions at the University of Missouri. Gary Moncrief is University Foundation Professor of Political Science at Boise State University.
