Rethinking California.This book explores the state of California -- viewing the state as a holistic political culture that reflects the influence of multiple cultures, ethnic groups, and communities of interest. It starts with a broad historical foundation, and travels through cultural analyses and institutional discussions. The evaluation of specific policy issues affecting the state is an important stop along the way, and the crossroads that bring together the variety of analytic paths.   This book is suited for individuals interested in California policy work, and gaining a better understanding of that state's unique political culture.Political planningCaliforniaPolitical cultureCaliforniaCaliforniaPolitics and governmentPolitical planningPolitical culture320.9794Cahn Matthew Alan1961-,905796Schockman H.
