Description

Drawing on a sample of ten cities, Elaine Sharp explains how municipalities respond to sex business, abortion clinics, legalized gambling, gay rights and drug use. Analyzing the relative importance of subculture, economics, and institutional arrangements in the disputes, she offers an understanding of how cities respond differently to these issues.
