During the nineteenth century and the first decade of this century, state governments dominated American government. In the mid-1900s, the role of the federal government in public policy making expanded to a great extent while the role of state governments diminished. Now, as we are well into the twenty-first century, state and local governments are working once again in a new partnership with the federal government. This course will survey the structure, function, operation, policies and problems of American state and local governments and will provide students with an understanding of the way in which state and local governments function and the place of the states within the American political system.
