Course Description: Government and politics at the state and local level undoubtedly provide most of us with our closest interaction with political life. Yet despite this proximity, each of these remain among the least studied and least appreciated aspects of American political life. In this course we'll examine the history, structure, and processes of state and local government in the U.S. Throughout the course, we will pay special attention to life in the Garden State.
