Children's literature in China: from Lu Xun to Mao Zedong

Abstract

Most New Yorkers have very little knowledge of how influence is wielded in Albany. This acclaimed book offers a chance to look behind those closed doors. The authors - an Albany-based political scientist and a former State Assembly member now joined by an expert on both state politics and political blogging and networking - infuse their discussion of institutions and processes with the drama and significance of real power politics. Completely revised and updated with extensive new material, the book covers recent political developments and electoral contests as well as all the basics: constitutional issues historical, economic, social, and demographic factors the functioning of executive, legislative, and judicial institutions urban, local, and special district governments parties, interest groups, and bureaucracies and, finance, budgets, health, education, and welfare programs. Throughout, the authors are attentive to the many paradoxes and dualities that distinguish political, social, and economic life in the Empire State. To keep coverage current, updates, links and related readings will be provided via the authors website.
