Building on the foundation of South Carolina Government: An Introduction, this follow-up volumes offers an edifying and instructive collection of material on South Carolina at the outset of the twenty-first century. Articulating the state's change from an agrarian-based society to an industrial and tourist economy, this volume explores the changing intergovernmental, demographic, and global contexts for the state and delves into the educational, environmental, and health issues facing policymakers. The contributors also provide an extensive analysis of women and minorities in politics, racial and religious influences in the rise of republicanism, and the current effects of the information age on government.
