Editorial Reviews

Product Description

Hayes offers a vigorous defence of incrementalism: the theory that the policymaking process typically should involve bargaining, delay, compromise, and, therefore, incremental change. Incrementalism, he argues, is one result of a checks-and-balances system in which US politicians may disagree over what the US wants to achieve as a nation or what policies would best achieve shared goals. Hayes calls for change that would make incrementalism work better by encouraging a more balanced struggle among social interests and by requiring political outcomes to conform to the rule of law.
