Shifting demographics. Downstate versus Chicago. Billionaires and bribery. Even veteran observers need a roadmap to track Illinois’ ever-changing political landscape. Melissa Mouritsen, Kent D. Redfield, and James D. Nowlan provide an up-to-date primer on Prairie State politics, government, and policies. Features include:
- Discussions of recent events like the 2015-2017 budget disaster, the response to COVID-19, and the fall of longtime House Speaker Michael Madigan;
- New chapters on corruption, social policies, and the political rules of the game;
- Perspectives on the nuts-and-bolts of campaign funding, the ways political actors acquire power or influence, and many other topics;
- Close examinations of complex issues like the state’s increased polarization and its ongoing fiscal recovery.
Fully revised and expanded, Illinois Politics blends detailed information with expert analysis to offer an essential resource for citizens, students, and public servants alike.
