History, Political Science and the Study of Leadership

Working at the interstice of what might called "theoretical history," the author reflects upon his own previous contributions to the literature and those of his collaborators.

Presidents, the Presidency, and the Political Environment
Presidential Leadership
The essay illustrates the value of studying individual presidents consecutively across time in order to compare and assess the relative importance of personal political skill in political and historical contexts. The presidency is the primary source of moral agency in American politics, and policy and agency occur in the leadership of individuals. An analytic framework to compare presidents encompasses the historical context; the skill factor; le…
Leadership in Context
The seven essays in this collection explore important questions that are at the heart of the understanding of political leadership. We ask: what are the relationships among personal political skill, the strength or weakness of institutional roles available to leaders, and the changing historical and political contexts within which leaders act?\n\nPoliticians with agendas for change seek to create dynamic relations of talent, institutional powers,…
The Presidency and the Prime Ministership as Institutions
Presidential Power and Political Science
The initial purpose of this article is to assess the enduring power of Richard E. Neustadt's 1960 book, Presidential Power. The book transformed the ways in which subsequent generations of presidential scholars thought and wrote about the presidency. It has continued to be the touchstone for scholarship. However, scholars have also qualified, modified, challenged, reformulated, and rejected Neustadt's theses. One result has been a richer literatu…
Presidential Power and Political Science
Political Science Then and Now
I remember an afternoon graduate seminar in 1958 at Yale when Bob Dahl asked a question: “How would we best go about ‘testing’ the insights of Alexis de Tocqueville in Democracy in America? ” Two answers were offered. “Survey research can do it all,” many argued. I put my hand up and offered an alternative. We would do well to study American history, the culture of politics, and political sociology, then and now. One does not “test” Tocqueville a…
Skill in Context
The article compares the efficacy of political leadership of three executive politicians: George Bush, John Major, and Jacques Chirac. Their leadership styles and skills are analyzed according to a model of skill in historical and political content. The three men held office at approximately the same time, following a politically strong predecessor. Their main task was to put their stamp on politics and policy. Bush and Major lost general electio…

Comparing Implementation Processes in Sweden and the United States
This article attempts a systematic comparison of how policy is implemented in Sweden and the United States. We suggest that differences might be explained by examining policymaking processes, policy content, and governmental structure. The comparison reveals differences in ‘incentive structure’. Both Sweden and the U.S. have responded to the complexity and uncertainty that accompanies increased demands on central government by adopting ‘softer’ m…

Can Political Science Develop Alternative Careers for its Graduates
The committee has been charged by the Council with exploring possibilities for employment of political scientists outside of universities in the present and future. This assignment is prompted by some historic facts. We can expect to see a 25 percent decline in the number of undergraduate students in the next decade. This means fewer faculty members. If graduate programs continue at their present size during that period, one-half of the Ph.D.s in…
The Progressive Presidents
The Bureaucratic Politics of Evaluation
A ccording to Miles' Law, Where you stand depends upon where you sit.' We have all had the experience of suddenly understanding the point of view of previous antagonists when we find ourselves in their shoes. Advocacy inhibits empathy. Space and task thus have psychological properties that can become a basis for bureaucratic politics even if no external non-governmental interests are involved. This story is an illustration of that truth. It is th…

Strategies for the implementation of federal education policies
The effective exercise of governmental authority in democratic society cannot be based solely on hierarchical commands. Compliance with law, regulation, and directives is achieved only when those who are asked to comply accept the legitimacy of authoritative requests. The possibilities for evasion are too great in polity with as many political, judicial, and organizational courts of appeal as are provided by the structure of American government. …
