New York City Politics: Governing Gotham

摘要

Bruce Berg convincingly develops three themes: that contemporary politics in New York City is defined by concerns for economic development, that intergovernmental actors exert a great influence on city affairs, and that racial and ethnic diversity compound questions of representation and equity in municipal affairs. The volume provides the sort of detail about the Giuliani and Bloomberg years that non-New York urbanists need to know, and that ex-New Yorkers want to know.
