Our major fokus is on description and analysis of political institutions, processes, and behaviour at the state level. However, in addition to including a chapter on local goverment, we say much that is partinent to local politics. Although it is perhaps unnecessary to say thhis, we basically view politics not as someform of nefarious or selfish activitty (although it my include some such element) but as the very essence of democracy, involving conflict and struggle among individuals and group over issues of public policy and governance.
