Politics, Institutions, and Policy in America Book Series A Non-APSA Publication

Sponsored by Cambria Press: www.cambriapress.com.

Series Editors:  Scott A. Frisch and Sean Q Kelly, California State University, Channel Islands

Politics, Institutions, and Public Policy in America is a book series intended to showcase high quality research contributions in political science.  We believe that political science is relatively theory-rich and data-poor. As a result we prefer studies that break new empirical ground over studies that solely focus on establishing new theoretical ground.  We also believe that political science research has the capacity to address contemporary American politics in a way that is accessible to political professionals.  Books in this series will draw on the many and varied methodological approaches available to researchers without prejudice, but authors must have the capacity to communicate their methods, findings, and study implications to a broad audience.

Books in Politics, Institutions, and Public Policy in America will:
• Address topics of broad substantive interest in political science and have relevance for political professionals
• Be firmly grounded in existing political science theories
• Utilize unique, new, and innovative data
• Employ appropriate methodologies including, but not limited to, quantitative, case study, historical, participant-observation, and mixed methodologies
• Have implications for understanding contemporary issues in American politics
