A propos du livre

Quatrième de couverture :

“I think this is an outstanding book. It’s very well written and provides an in-depth understanding of urban politics.”

–Stefanie Chambers, Trinity College

“City Politics is a thorough, well-written, and very popular textbook for introductory urban politics courses. It describes very well the historical development of American cities, and how power relationships structured over 100 years ago continue to impact upon current political debates in those cities.”

–Joseph Goeke Frank, Washington University

Sixth Edition

Dennis R. Judd
Todd Swanstrom

Through five editions, this text has been praised for the clarity of its writing, careful research, and distinctive theme–that urban politics in the United States has evolved as a dynamic interaction among governmental power, private actors, and a politics of identity. The Sixth Edition of this text brings city politics of the global era into sharp focus by tracing the continuous development of urban America from the nation’s founding to the present.

New coverage in the Sixth Edition includes:

• Systematic incorporation of data from the 2000 census and recent statistical reports.
• An updated analysis of downtown revival and neighborhood gentrification.
• An expanded discussion of the social and cultural dynamics associated with urban regeneration in the global era.
• A more in-depth look at the politics of race and ethnicity.
• Increased coverage of the economic and cultural impacts of urban tourism.
• A new analysis of federal-city relations that emphasizes unfunded mandates and the difficult relationships between the federal government and cities during times of crisis such as terrorist attacks, the challenges facing city governments, and natural disasters like Hurricane Katrina.
