Description

Book Synopsis
Tucked between the larger commonwealths of Pennsylvania and Virginia and overshadowed by the political maneuverings of Washington, DC, Maryland has often been overlooked in studies of state governmental systems. With the publication of this volume, the challenging demographic diversity, geographic variety, and dynamic Democratic pragmatism of Maryland finally get their due.
