This study guide and workbook is intended to be used by students in conjunction with two books: "Alaska State Government and Politics" and "Alaska's Urban and Rural Governments." Each of the 15 units in the guide contains four sections. (1) The learning objectives tell the students what they should have learned after reading and studying a chapter. (2) The overview and synopsis are summaries that alert students to themes and issues addressed in the chapter. (3) The glossary contains key terms and concepts that are important for understanding the subject. (4) True/false, multiple choice, and essay questions test comprehension. The correct answers are printed at the end of the guide. Topics covered in the units include Alaska's political history, Alaska's constitution, intergovernmental relations, political culture, elections, political parties, interest groups, public opinion, the Alaska press, the Alaska legislature, the governor, the administrative system, the state courts, local government in urban Alaska, and local government in rural Alaska.
