New York Politics examines aspects of state government that are often hidden in the secret sessions of the parties' legislative conferences: the closed-door budget; a complicated array of opaque agencies, authorities, and local governments; and a campaign finance system that lacks transparency. New York is unique among the American states in the existence of regional and demographic divisions, making it difficult to govern. Edward V. Schneier, Antoinette Pole, and Anthony Maniscalco bring clarity and understanding to the politics of the Empire State.

This third edition of the leading textbook on New York politics combines historical, legal, statistical, and journalistic sources with the candid perspectives of legislators, lobbyists, and other public officials. Critical updates and new information include an analysis of the rise and fall of Governor Andrew Cuomo, coverage of growing demographic diversity in New York State and its government, and the impact of unified government when the legislature and executive branch are both controlled by the Democratic Party.

Reviews for New York Politics: A Tale of Two States

A masterly work... A citizen's textbook on one of the nation's most complicated political systems. It deserves to be widely read by scholars in American politics and should be required reading for all students in the Empire State. * Perspectives on Political Science * New York Politics stands alongside B. Salmore and S. Salmore's New Jersey Politics and Government as one of the finest examinations of politics on the state level ever written * Social & Behavioral Sciences *
