Description

This volume provides a comprehensive analysis of both the historical and the recent dimensions of the politics and government of the “First State.” Once a sparsely populated, agrarian, and quite insignificant polity, Delaware has turn out to be a densely and diversely populated financial and legal center regularly referred to as the “corporation capital of the world.” Delaware’s prime location has been central to its development and transition from a goods-producing economy to a fast-growing, service-based economy. In spite of its diminutive size, Delaware is, in many ways, the nation’s preferred corporate home.
 
William W. Boyer and Edward C. Ratledge provide an overview of Delaware’s history, structure, and present politics and give an explanation for why one of the most smallest states in the country could also be one of the vital powerful. Delaware continually promotes pro-business legislation, business and public objectives are entwined, and privatization is a dominant theme in public affairs. The state has an individualistic political order in which public participation is indirect and citizen activism is limited.
