Local Government Law, Cases and Materials
Law students are increasingly drawn to local government law as an alternative to federal partisan gridlock. This law school casebook is built around three central thematic issues in the field: (1) How much power should cities have, relative to states or the federal government (the decentralization question)? (2) How can cities coordinate with each other across a city-suburb divide, in the context of regional inequality, racial segregation, and sprawl? (3) How should city governments be structured and managed internally, in terms of raising revenue, delivering services (including police), attracting jobs, and voting?

Race, Reform, and Regulation of the Electoral Process
This book offers a critical re-evaluation of three fundamental and interlocking themes in American democracy: the relationship between race and politics, the performance and reform of election systems and the role of courts in regulating the political process. This edited volume features contributions from some of the leading voices in election law and social science. The authors address the recurring questions for American democracy and identify new challenges for the twenty-first century. They not only consider where current policy and scholarship are headed, but also suggest where they ought to go over the next two decades. The book thus provides intellectual guideposts for future scholarship and policy making in American democracy.
European Transport Policy and Sustainable Mobility
It is now widely accepted that transport is becoming increasingly unsustainable and that strong policy intervention is required to reduce both the growth in transport demand and the environmental costs of transport. This book challenges conventional approaches to transport by moving away from trend based analysis towards the use of scenarios to identify alternative sustainable transport futures. It both summaries the development of EU transport policy and presents a critique. The policy context is widened to include the global changes taking place in economics, society and technology. It develops new methodologies for policy making for the next 25 years.
