Its trillion dollar economy makes the state a national-and often world-leader in banking, finance, publishing, soft services (law, accounting, insurance, consulting), higher education, culture, and the arts. With more than one in five of its residents having\u003cbr\u003eimmigrated from elsewhere, New York State is an ethnic and social harbinger for an increasingly diverse nation. Recent years have found it, like many other big states, challenged to achieve effective governance. How is, can, or should such a state be governed? What is its history? What is its\u003cbr\u003efuture? The Oxford Handbook of New York State Government and Politics offers an unusually comprehensive, detailed, and systematic study of this unique and influential state. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe thirty-one chapters in The Oxford Handbook of New York State Government and Politics assemble new scholarship in key areas of governance in New York, document the state's record in comparison to other US states, and identify directions for future research. Following editor Gerald Benjamin's\u003cbr\u003eintroduction, the handbook chapters are organized in five sections that look at the state constitution, state political processes, state governmental institutions, intergovernmental relations, and management and policy areas. Chapters address a wide array of topics including political parties, \u003cbr\u003ecampaign finance policy, public opinion polling, elections and election management, lobbying and interest group systems, the state legislature, the governorship, the judiciary, the state's foreign policy, education, health care policy, public safety, economic development, transportation policy, \u003cbr\u003eenergy policy, and more. A final chapter, compiled by the state archivist, consists of a most extensive annotated bibliography of resources on state history, state political history, the state constitution, and state political processes. Chapter authors include both scholars of New York State and\u003cbr\u003ecurrent and former state officials.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Gerald Benjamin\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Oxford University Press, USA\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/03\/2012\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 1056\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 3.75lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.80h x 7.00w x 2.00d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780195387230\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGerald Benjamin\u003c\/strong\u003e is Associate Vice President for Regional Engagement, \u003cbr\u003eDirector of the Center for Research, Regional Engagement and Outreach (CRREO), and\u003cbr\u003eSUNY Distinguished Professor of Political Science at the State\u003cbr\u003eUniversity of New York at New Paltz.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Oxford University Press, USA","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":39930776748147,"sku":"9.78E+12","price":205.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0555\/9255\/0515\/products\/img_e94cac33-3dfb-451d-a548-829290ee51c0.jpg?v=1647699520","url":"https:\/\/bookstorenmore.com\/products\/oxford-handbook-of-new-york-state-government-and-politics-9780195387230","provider":"Bookstore N More","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
