Although political leadership is central to governing, the authors continue to explain California politics through the dual lenses of diversity and a variant of pluralism they call hyperpluralism. In all nine editions, the authors have tried to show two things: (1) how demographic, cultural, economic, geographic, and political diversity affect how politics actually works in California, and (2) how the exceedingly pluralistic nature of the state results in a highly competitive tug-of-war between ideologies, institutions, policymakers, political parties, interest groups , and voters.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTABLE OF CONTENTS 1.\tExplaining California Politics 2.\tCalifornia’s Political Development 3.\tConstitutionalism and Federalism: The Perimeters of California Politics 4.\tDirect Democracy in a Hyperpluralistic Age 5.\tHow Californians Participate 6.\tLinking People and Policymakers: Media, Parties, and Interest Groups 7.\tLegislative Politics 8.\tExecutive Politics 9.\tCalifornia’s Judiciary 10.\tCommunity Politics 11.\tBudget Policy: The Cost of Diversity 12.\tPolicies Stemming from Growth 13.\tPolicies Stemming from Diversity","brand":"Rowman \u0026 Littlefield","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51041152467287,"sku":"9781538129296","price":34.2,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9781538129296.jpg?v=1750949146","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/california-the-politics-of-diversity-9781538129296","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
