Editorial Reviews
Review
Indeed, Skowronek's work has been recognized as a major contribution to our understanding of the office... Skowronek provides a mass of detailed evidence to support his thesis, but he is also sensitive to the fact that no one theoretical perspective can account for the complexity and nuance of presidential leadership... Above all, his work retains a deep respect for the Neustadtian tradition with its emphasis on the leadership capacities of individual incumbents, while placing presidential performance through time in a analytically persuasive theoretical context. -- David McKay "Government and Opposition"

Product Description
THIS EDITION HAS BEEN REPLACED BY A NEWER EDITION
Stephen Skowronek's wholly innovative study demonstrates that presidents are persistent agents of change, continually disrupting and transforming the political landscape. In an afterword to this new edition, the author examines "third way" leadership as it has been practiced by Bill Clinton and others. These leaders are neither great repudiators nor orthodox innovators. They challenge received political categories, mix seemingly antithetical doctrines, and often take their opponents' issues as their own. As the 1996 election confirmed, third way leadership has great electoral appeal. The question is whether Clinton in his second term will escape the convulsive end so often associated with the type.
