So, too, perhaps, are the state's challenges. Lone Star Tarnished approaches public policy in the nation's most populous "red state" from historical, comparative, and critical perspectives. The historical perspective provides the scope for asking how various policy domains have developed in Texas history. In each chapter, Cal Jillson compares Texas public policy choices and results with those of other states and the United States in general. Finally, the critical perspective allows readers to question the balance of benefits and costs attendant to what is often referred to as "the Texas way" or "the Texas model" and to assess the many claims of Texas's exceptionalism. Through Jillson's lively and lucid prose, students are well equipped to analyse how Texas has done and is doing compared to selected states and the national average over time and today. This text is aimed at students and professors of Texas politics who want to stress history, political culture, and public policy"-- $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Political planning $z Texas. 651 0 $a Texas $x Politics and government. 651 0 $a Texas $x Social policy. 651 0 $a Texas $x Economic policy. 650 7 $a Economic policy. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00902025 650 7 $a Political planning. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01069460 650 7 $a Politics and government. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01919741 650 7 $a Social policy. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01122738 651 7 $a Texas. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01210336 776 08 $i Online version: $a Jillson, Cal, $t Lone star tarnished $b Fourth edition. $d New York, NY : Routledge, 2021. $z 9781003034629 $w (DLC) 2020016710 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20220317022324.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=2B922CE886E611EB80D4A9DB35ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
