    “Nebraska Government and Politics provides rich context to help the reader understand the origins and traditions of Nebraska’s political culture and institutions.”-Sue Crawford, city administrator for York, Nebraska, former Nebraska state senator, and professor emeritus of political science at Creighton University
    “Nebraska Government and Politics is important to the understanding of Nebraska and will serve the public and political community well. The research is detailed and is presented by well-regarded scholars. It will find broad use among politicians, public administrators, and teachers, as well as the general public.”-Paul Landow, associate professor emeritus of political science at the University of Nebraska at Omaha
    “An in-depth explanation of the state and local government in Nebraska as well as the historical events that led to the development of its unique political culture. The contributors explain how Nebraska’s culture led to a system of government distinct from those in other states. They also use contemporary examples to illustrate how that culture continues to influence policy outcomes today.”-Kimberly Nelson, professor of public administration and government at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill

    Nebraska Government and Politics offers an in-depth examination of the connection between the political culture, traditions, and heritage of Nebraska and its governmental institutions. This new edition discusses federalism, constitutionalism, and the continuing American frontier, paying special attention to the effects and frameworks of Nebraska’s political culture. The contributors emphasize enduring trends and issues through Nebraska’s history as they examine the cultural foundations of the state’s political institutions, the major governmental structures in the state, and the political and administrative relationships at play. The chapters cover periodic populism, the state constitution, nonpartisanship and direct democracy, budgeting and financial policies, the unicameral, the executive branch, local government, political culture, and capital punishment.

    Robert Blair, Christian L. Janousek, and Jerome Deichert provide a long view of Nebraska, a state whose unique political culture is reflected in its institutions.
