Those days have passed. As multiple wide-ranging crises have thrust America’s local governments into the spotlight, they have also exposed policy failures and systemic problems that have mounted for years. While issues such as policing and the cost of housing are debated nationally, much of the policymaking surrounding these issues occurs locally.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn \u003ci\u003eLocal Interests\u003c\/i\u003e, Sarah F. Anzia explores how local governments—and the interest groups that try to influence them—create the policies that drive the national conversation: policing, economic development, housing, and challenges of taxing and spending.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAnzia examines local interest groups in terms of the specific policies they pursue, including how these groups get active in politics and what impact they have. By offering new perspectives on these issues, Anzia contributes to our knowledge of how interest groups function and the significant role they play in shaping broader social outcomes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Unknown","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47471080177900,"sku":"9780226819297","price":66.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/9780226819297-local-interests.jpg?v=1775233383"}],"url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/collections\/sarah-f-anzia.oembed","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
