West Virginia Politics and Government offers the only recent study of politics in the Mountain State. Combining new empirical information about political behavior with a close examination of the capacity of the state's government, this second edition is a comprehensive and pointed study of the ability of the state's government to respond to the needs of a largely rural and relatively low-income population. The authors discuss public demands on state government, the shaping of the political agenda by interest groups, elections and the role of political parties, and the influence of the federal
"Politics and Government in South Africa provides an up-to-date analysis of political institutions in South Africa from the indigenous period to the present. The book examines the ideas that inform the operation of political institutions, political and popular culture, as well as political socialization. It highlights the major theories that have been used to study South Africa and includes an analysis of socio-economic issues, domestic policy, legislature, foreign policy and the judiciary. As well as political scientists, the volume brings in artists and writers to highlight an alternative representation of South African society, and offers different perspectives on government and politics. By including popular culture, students are introduced to the diverse ways in which artists and writers use their craft to draw attention to pressing economic, social justice and political issues in South Africa. Key features include critical thinking questions at the end of each chapter that allow students to reflect on what they have learned. The volume also provides simulation exercises from opposing political parties on critical matters such as land, major court cases, South Africa's role in the African Union, military engagement abroad, and peacekeeping. This volume will appeal to undergraduate students studying African Studies, International Relations, Foreign Policy and Political Science"--

Politics and government in the age of the internetLet's start with some statistics and comparisons. Think back to October 1994 when theLabour Party put its conference proceedings on the web, leading the party to claim itwas the first UK political party with an internet presence. Now, ten years on, the onlinepolitical landscape has changed dramatically. In 2005 it is inconceivable that a politicalparty would not have an internet site; in fact, one of Britain's newest political parties(the People's Alliance) actually launched itself online (Happold, 2003). Similarly, MPswith web sites were a rar

Tucked between the larger commonwealths of Pennsylvania and Virginia and overshadowed by the political maneuverings of its neighbor, Washington, D.C., Maryland has often been overlooked and neglected in studies of state governmental systems. With the publication of Maryland Politics and Government, the challenging demographic diversity, geographic variety, and dynamic Democratic pragmatism of Maryland finally get their due. Two longtime political analysts, Herbert C. Smith and John T. Willis, conduct a sustained inquiry into topics including the Maryland identity, po.

The French elections of June 1951 and the serious difficulties experienced by the victorious constitutional parties in the formation of a government call attention once more to the problems of a parliamentary system in a multiparty state, and underline the urgency of a redefinition of the roles of parties and government within a constitutional democracy. These developments also draw attention to the basic constitutional problems which affect the political stability of France, and thereby weaken the Western community. With an occasional glance at parallel Italian developments, this article will first analyze the new electoral law and the election returns before proceeding to a discussion of the constitutional issues that contribute to the deepening crisis of the Fourth Republic.
