Lone Star Politics: Theories, Concepts, and Political Activity in Texas blends the history of political activity in the state with theories that underlie and explain this activity. Through classic and contemporary political literature, students learn about the unique political culture that exists in Texas and how governments at various levels function within it.
Students explore topics such as the evolution and impact of the Texas Constitution, federalism, the role of local governments in the state, and the role of the executive branch. They study the legislature and judiciary and see how conservative ideology influences both public and social policy. They become familiar with the state's economy, its political parties, and their roles in the evolution of the state. The book concludes with an examination of interest groups and the parts they play in the political system.
The third edition features discussions of new political situations that have emerged since the publication of the second edition. New topics covered include the dispute between Disney World and Ron DeSantis, party politics at the country level, the role of the county treasurer, community college budget allocations, Texas's Republican legislature, and the 88th legislature session following the Uvalde school shooting.
Lone Star Politics is ideal for classes on Texas government that focus on the concepts and theories driving the state's political activity.
