17. URBAN POLICY AND POLITICS IN A BUREAUCRATIC AGE (Book).

Subjects
UNITED States politics & government
Abstract

This article presents information on the book "Urban Policy and Politics in a Bureaucratic Age," by Clarence Stone, Robert Whelan and William Murin. This is a comprehensive and up-to-date American textbook about local politics in the United States, with a clear eye to the student market. Its approach is sound, giving full emphasis to sociological and cultural factors and going beyond the traditional dichotomy between machine politics and reforming "good government ". Its view of the great political machines is unromantic— better means existed of acculturating incomers to the complexities of the urban environment—but the impersonality and business orientation of expertise-based reform politics is equally criticised.
