Politics and Public Policy in Arizona

By Zachary A. Smith

Book Overview

This text provides the most sophisticated and comprehensive treatment to date of politics and public policy in Arizona. It examines the political process in the State of Arizona and the policies that process has produced. Intended for courses on state and local politics and policy, the work is designed to provide an introduction to and analysis of the workings of Arizona public policy. Written by scholars from several disciplines (law, sociology, criminal justice, and political science), the text is divided into two parts: Part I examines political institutions (the courts, legislature, governor's office, etc.), while part II looks at significant policy issues in Arizona politics (the environment, water, health care, etc.). This important text will meet the needs of upper-division students in courses on the Arizona Constitution, Arizona state and local politics, and public policy.
