Local Politics: A Different Front in the Culture War?

Cindy Simon Rosenthal, University of Oklahoma

Abstract

What do we learn by examining the so-called “culture wars” in the context of local government? Local politics are both similar and different from the partisan skirmishes evidenced at the national levels. More importantly by considering how local politics differs from national politics in the culture war, we are reminded that resources of social capital and integrative leadership matter.
