ISBN: 1139482513
Category : Political Science
Languages : en
Pages : 273

Sellers examines strategic communication campaigns in the U.S. Congress, arguing that they create cycles of spin: leaders create messages, rank-and-file legislators decide whether to promote those messages, journalists decide whether to cover the messages, and any coverage feeds back to influence the policy process.

Reviewing Delegation
Author: James H. Cox
Publisher: Bloomsbury Publishing USA
ISBN: 0313057346
Category : Political Science
Languages : en
Pages : 177
Book Description
Members of Congress often delegate power to bureaucratic experts, but they fear losing permanent control of the policy. One way Congress has dealt with this problem is to require reauthorization of the program or policy. Cox argues that Congress uses this power selectively, and is more likely to require reauthorization when policy is complex or they do not trust the executive branch. By contrast, reauthorization is less likely to be required when there are large disagreements about policy within Congress. In the process, Cox shows that committees are important independent actors in the legislative process, and that committees with homogenous policy preferences may have an advantage in getting their bills through Congress.

Heavy Lifting
Author: Alan Rosenthal
Publisher: SAGE
ISBN: 1483304876
Category : Political Science
Languages : en
Pages : 552
Book Description
What makes for a "good" legislature? In Heavy Lifting, Alan Rosenthal traveled to five states, interviewing and shadowing legislators to find out the answer. Through this engaging narrative, the author first establishes the most important aspects of American state legislatures--what they are and how they do their jobs--and then graduates to the book’s central thesis: Rosenthal argues that, on the whole, the American legislature must be evaluated on the basis of its processes, not its products. He breaks down the legislative process into three principal functions: representing, lawmaking, and balancing the executive, and covers each in turn in the remainder of the book.
