The political culture of Oregon has long had a reputation for innovative policy, maverick politicians, and independent political thought, but instead of using the term ?progressive? to describe the state?s political leanings, the editors of Oregon Politics and Government believe a more accurate descriptor would be ?schizophrenic.? Oregon Politics and Government provides not only an overview of the state?s politics and government; it also explains how the divide between progressives and conservative populists defines Oregon politics today. ø Early in the state?s history, reformers championed many causes: the initiative and referendum process for setting public policy, the recall of public officials, the direct election of U.S. senators, and women?s suffrage. Since then, the state has asserted control over beaches, imposed strict land-use laws, created an innovative regional government, introduced voting through the mail, allowed for physician-assisted suicide, and experimented with universal healthcare. Despite this list of accomplishments, however, Oregon is divided between two competing visions: one that is tied to progressive politics and another that is committed to conservative populism. While the progressive side supports a strong and active government, the conservative populist side seeks a smaller government, lower taxes, fewer restrictions on private property, and protection for traditional social values. The struggle between these two forces drives Oregon politics and policies today.

Governing Oregon presents a broad and comprehensive picture of Oregon government and politics as we approach the start of the third decade of the twenty-first century, shedding light on the profound changes that have remade Oregon politics in recent years. The book also seeks to make it clear that much has also remained the same. The editors of this collection have relied upon leading scholars from six different Oregon universities, current and former state leaders in Oregon's executive and judicial branches, and individuals involved in tribal government and policymaking to tell the ongoing story of government in Oregon.

The first comprehensive political history of Oregon, To the Promised Land also examines the social and economic changes the state has pioneered during its almost two hundred years. Highlighting major political figures, campaigns, ballot measures, and the history of legislative sessions, Tom Marsh traces the evolution of Oregon from incorporated territory to a state at the forefront of national environmental and social movements. From Jason Lee's first letter urging Congress to take possession of the Oregon Country to John Kitzhaber's precedent-setting third term as governor, from the land frauds of the early 20th century to the state's land-use planning goals, from the Beach Bill to the Bottle Bill, this book tells Oregon's story. Featuring interesting trivia, historical photographs, and biographical sketches of key politicians, To the Promised Land is an essential volume for readers interested in Oregon's history.

Government That Works, The Results Revolution in the States, is the story of public servants at every level of state government, across the nation, who are transforming government. With real-world, hands-on stories from states including in part Oregon, Michigan, Maryland, Colorado, Tennessee, Washington, and New Mexico, the book chronicles the emerging best practices in results-driven government. Government That Works includes practical tools in use to implement sweeping cultural change by shifting the system of management from one that is reactionary to a system driven by clear goals and specific measures that gauge progress. The book addresses how a management system is what coalesces everything from being customer driven, to lean, and balanced scorecards, to regulatory reform, project management and employee engagement.
