Full Description

A readable and thought-provoking textbook designed to introduce students to California politics, the updated sixth edition of Democracy in California explains the Golden State's governmental institutions and how their dynamics affect the lives of Californians. Brian P. Janiskee, Ken Masugi, and Christina G. Villegas examine California history, political traditions, and political character, covering a range of topics from California's constitution and development to the branches of government and local political systems. Exploring the nature of public opinion, parties, and campaigns, Janiskee, Masugi, and Villegas demonstrate that the state's diverse population affects all levels of politics and government.
