Building on earlier work with new data and recent interviews and observations, Rosenthal looks at the way representation works, Americans' critical view of their legislatures, the role of legislative leaders, the dynamics of executive-legislative relationships, as well as norms and ethics. Both a complement and contrast to the policymaking process on Capitol Hill, Engines of Democracy proves that no one gives insight into state legislators and their work the way Alan Rosenthal can. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Alan Rosenthal\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0872894592\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780872894594\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e CQ Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/07\/2008\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 442\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.40lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.10h x 6.00w x 1.10d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eReference and Research Bk News\u003c\/i\u003e 05\/01\/2009 pg. 172","brand":"Alan Rosenthal","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44120405082367,"sku":"9780872894594","price":95.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_8286c72d-67a2-4de1-a12f-b0252a176b93.jpg?v=1687414136","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/engines-of-democracy-alan-rosenthal-9780872894594","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
