Sommario/riassunto

'The Encyclopedia of Politics in the American West' is an A to Z reference work on the political development of one of America's most politically distinct, not to mention its fastest growing, regions. It covers not only the significant events and actors of Western politics, but also deals with key institutional, historical, environmental, and sociopolitical themes and concepts that are important to understanding more fully the politics of the West over the last century.
