I am seeking contributors to a panel on urban politics in the twentieth

\nfederal as well as local policies. I can this panel incorporating
\nadditional studies of “special interests” — as in who is seen as
\nrepresenting the general public as opposed to a special interest — or
\nstudies of federal – local interactions.<\/p>\n
