The Presidency Since Mid-Century
Many scholars and observers claim that the presidential office and the political environment in which presidents operate have been transformed in the second half of the twentieth century.

To…

The Hidden-Hand Presidency
Moving Beyond the Oval Office
No student of the presidency can avoid coming to grips with the impact which the president, himself, has on political affairs in general and, more particularly, the conduct of the office in which he serves. As Fred Greenstein (1979: p. 63) has observed
