The Politics of Gambling in the South
Michael Nelson and JOHN LYMAN MASON employ case studies of Mississippi
and Georgia to explore the recent spread of legalized gambling in the South.
Their research affirms the value of the prevailing theories of state policy innovation
while suggesting several refinements, particularly in diffusion theory. They also draw
attention to the sometimes-neglected importance of state constitutions and electoral
politicians in the policy innovation process.
