Description:

American states have recently reemerged as powerful centers of legislative change and policy innovation, and Washington is no exception. Drawing from Populist and Progressive Era roots, Evergreen State voters continue to construct their own distinct brand of democracy and weave strands from the past into current political fiber. Yet other trends suggest an unpredictable future. In Governing Washington, contemporary research and updated analysis from prominent regional authorities and commentators examine these themes and more, and provide a seasoned perspective on the state¿s ever-changing political landscape.
