The Great Recessions impact in the United States is far reaching and the choices facing state and local governments are sometimes stark: trade-offs between roads and schools, public safety and health care. The new edition of Governing States and Localities continues to respond to this reality with a sharp focus on economic and budget pressures. The Fourth Edition has been thoroughly revised and updated. Well-designed pedagogical features ask students to apply the comparative method ("A Difference that Makes a Difference"), to see how intergovernmental relations impact localities ("Local Focus"), and to see examples of how policies are actually implemented ("Policy in Practice").
