Recent Research on Legislative Staffs
In this article, I survey the literature on legislative staffing from 1983 to the present. Recent studies of the staffs of the U.S. Congress, U.S. state legislatures, and legislatures outside of the United States present new data and analyses. Research includes increasingly precise and sophisticated analyses of staff influence and power, and offers perspectives on specialized staff groups, legislative enterprises, and staff members as candidates …

The Politics of Curriculum Reform
Legislative politics are legislative politics-whether in that premier legislative arena, the U.S. Congress, in state or local legislative bodies, or in a university. Thus, empirical research on politics is relevant to the university situation, and professional training as a political scientist is useful in developing strategies to bring about institutional change. These conclusions are based on my experience as a participant in a two and one-half…
Informal Congressional Caucuses and Agenda Setting
gressional caucuses as voluntary associations of members of Congress, without recognition in chamber rules or line item appropriations, which seek to have a role in the policy process. These groups have standard organizational attributes: a name, a membership list, leadership, and staffing arrangements. State delegations are informal groups if they have been accorded formal House recognition as Legislative Service Organizations.' In this paper we…
