Out Now: Third Edition of The Local Power & Politics Review
The third edition of The Local Power & Politics Review is now live and features a series of articles that explore how abusive preemption legislation has impacted states across the country.
The new edition covers a wide range of issue areas – from public health policy to local environmental action to public schools to public safety to elections.
In the introduction, Lori Riverstone-Newell explains that the articles in The Local Power & Politics Review “inspect recent and emerging concerns involving state preemption and other forms of overreach across five policy domains. Each article is written by a researcher-advocate team who combine their experiences and knowledge to present recent trends and threats to local power in their policy domain, the associated costs of local disempowerment, and potential strategies to combat or adapt to abusive state preemption and other forms of state overreach.”
The Local Power & Politics Review is a space where researchers and advocates engaged in combating abusive preemption can share ideas, strategies, and resources. The first edition was published in fall 2020, and the second edition was published in March 2022.
