Delivering unparalleled coverage of Texas institutions, policies and politics, Jones/Maxwell/Crain/Davis/Wlezien/Flores' TEXAS POLITICS TODAY, 19th edition, combines a comparative approach with tightly integrated learning objectives and questions addressing the Texas GOVT2306 Core Objectives. The text reveals the inner workings of Texas elites, interest groups, campaign megadonors and policymakers. Stimulating critical thinking and civic participation, it covers the latest developments in Texas' changing demographics, Latino politics, political polarization, legislative rules changes, districting, gerrymandering alternatives, interest groups and lobby regulations, voting obstacles and criminal justice reforms. "Texas Insiders" and "Politics in Practice" features illustrate how real-world politics operate in Texas -- closing the gap between theory and practice. Also available: MindTap.
