Ohio Government and Politics

<strong>Ohio Government and Politics </strong>provides a thorough highly readable overview of the history processes and institutions of the state’s government and politics. In a country increasingly divided into blue and red states Ohio is “purple” – one of the few states that is not dominated by a single political party. Covering the crucial strategies of both the republicans and democrats as they vie for power in Ohio authors Paul Sracic and William Binning demonstrate the “nationalizing” of Ohio politics. However contemporary issues specific to Ohio politics are not neglected; coverage of important issues such charter reform in Cuyahoga County and the controversies over the regulation of fracking is included.
