Professors and Practitioners: Assessing the Impact of Covid‐19 in the State of Oklahoma with and Without Residents of Long‐Term Care Facilities
Objectives: Our analysis, which began as a request from the Oklahoma Governor for useable analysis for state decision making, seeks to predict statewide COVID-19 spread through a variety of lenses, including with and without long-term care facilities (LTCFs), accounting for rural/urban differences, and considering the impact of state government regulations of the citizenry on disease spread. Methods: We utilize a deterministic susceptible exposed…

Faculty involved in the project have endeavored to make government workings, issues, debates, and impacts meaningful and memorable to students while maintaining the conceptual coverage and rigor inherent in the subject. With this objective in mind, the content of this textbook has been developed and arranged to provide a logical progression from the fundament…

President O bama, the Senate, and the Polarized Politics of Treaty Making
Objective We examine P resident O bama's use of international agreements as he pursued his foreign policy agenda during his first three years in office. While P resident O bama uses executive agreements at similar levels as previous presidents, he has used the treaty mechanism far less often. This presents an interesting puzzle: Why has O bama used so few treaties when his own party controls the S enate? Methods We address this puzzle by analyzin…
Policy Process, Scholarship, and the Road Ahead: An Introduction to the 2008 Policy Shootout
Since August of 2003, the Policy Studies Journal has operated under a very simple mission statement. PSJ seeks to provide scholars with the finest theoretically grounded, empirically sound, and cutting-edge research covering all aspects of public policy. During the last six years, the Journal has made several operational decisions reflexive of this mission, ensuring that each issue has offerings to interest the majority of the readership. For exa…
Malign Neglect: Evidence That Delay Has Become the Primary Method of Defeating Presidential Appointments
This analysis shows that the lengthening of the confirmation process for presidential nominations to major judicial and executive branch offices from 1965–2008 is due to a purposeful strategy to defeat presidential nominees by preventing them from getting a vote. These changes are most apparent for judicial nominations, but they are also evident to a lesser extent for executive branch nominations. We argue that party polarization of the 1990s pre…
Winnowing in Environmental Policy: Jurisdictional Challenges and Opportunities
While scholars developed an understanding of the processes moving issues from the systemic to the institutional agenda, we know little about the inner workings of the institutional agenda. Winnowing theory addresses this gap by examining the leadership, bill sponsor, and contextual factors helping bills move through the institutional agenda. By expanding winnowing theory to incorporate a fragmented policy domain, the environment, we find that mul…
Jump‐Starting Collaboration: The ABCD Initiative and the Provision of Child Development Services through Medicaid and Collaborators
Many policy problems require governmental leaders to forge vast networks beyond their own hierarchical institutions. This essay explores the challenges of implementation in a networked institutional setting and incentives to induce coordination between agencies and promote quality implementation. It describes the national evaluation of the Assuring Better Child Health and Development program, a state‐based program intended to increase and enhance…
The Changing Nature of Presidential Policy Making on International Agreements
Why are executive agreements (EAs), rather than treaties, increasingly used to formalize U.S. relations with other countries? We examine this question from two perspectives. In the first, known as the “evasion” hypothesis, presidents act strategically to evade the Senate when governing circumstances are difficult. This strategic view reflects the conventional wisdom. Second, we consider whether organizational efficiency drives presidential use of…
Recurring bills and the legislative process in the US congress
Recurring bills may be interpreted in two very different ways. First, there is the 'legislative loser' perspective, which posits that legislators introduce bills repeatedly for symbolic reasons, not intending or expecting them to go very far. Alternatively, there is the 'softening up' perspective, which assumes that legislators introduce bills more than once for policy reasons. They first test the waters, making a second attempt more successful. …

Issues and Institutions: "Winnowing" in the U.S. Congress
Issues and Institutions: Winnowing” in the U.S. Congress
Winnowing” is the pre‐floor process by which Congress determines the small percentage of bills that will receive committee attention. The vast majority of proposals languish in this vital agenda‐setting stage, yet our understanding of winnowing is nascent. Why do some bills move forward while most fail? I examine that question here by developing and testing a theoretical framework of winnowing grounded in bounded rationality, which includes insti…
The Effect of Hava on Late-to-Innovate States: External Influence on Election Reform in Arizona and Illinois
As election reform diffused across the American states, there was considerable variation in the states' willingness to innovate, their timing in doing so, and the influence of the federal Help America Vote Act (HAVA). Through the lens of the policy-diffusion literature, this article examines the reform processes in Arizona and Illinois, two representatives of the handful of states that were late in innovating, in order to test for effects of HAVA…
The Devolved Party Systems of the United Kingdom: Sub-national Variations from the National Model
In this article we examine the emerging party systems of the devolved environments, with an eye toward shedding light on the factors that influence the number of parties in a system where parties are already mobilized but the institutional context is new. Our findings demonstrate that electoral rules have an independent effect on the number of parties. More specifically, the use of proportional representation has increased the number of parties. …

Selecting Appeals for Judicial Review in Canada: A Replication and Multivariate Test of American Hypotheses
Comparative research of agenda setting by high courts in other countries that replicates American research on the certiorari process is rare. This is the first study of the leave to appeal process in the Supreme Court of Canada. It also is the first multivariate model that operationalizes the jurisprudential indicia Perry identified as important when the U.S. Supreme Court "decides to decide." This study finds that endogenous institutional norms …
Repeat Litigators and Agenda Setting on the Supreme Court of Canada
The expanding public policy role of high courts heightens concerns over whether societal and political inequalities affect the outcomes of litigation. However, comparative research on this question is limited. This article assesses whether status inequalities between parties and differences in the experience and resources of attorneys influence the selection of cases for judicial review in the Supreme Court of Canada. A series of statistical mode…
Tactical Maneuvering on Omnibus Bills in Congress
Omnibus legislating is a standard part of the congressional landscape altering traditional lawmaking in important ways. Yet we know little about it. Omnibus bills are almost always enacted into law. An important question, therefore, is, Why do leaders attach some bills to these measures and not others? I examine this question by developing and testing three sets of plausible explanations of omnibus packaging (one based on the leader-member relati…

Getting around Gridlock: The Effect of Omnibus Utilization on Legislative Productivity
Omnibus legislating-the practice of combining numerous measures from disparate policy areas in one massive bill-has become a standard part of the legislative landscape in Washington and alters lawmaking in important ways; yet we know little about it. In this paper, I consider whether or not the omnibus method positively affects legislative productivity, as is suggested by many observers in Washington and academia. To test this hypothesis, I estim…
From Abe Fortas to Zoë Baird: Why Some Presidential Nominations Fail in the Senate
Why, given a strong presumption of success, do some presidential nominations fail? Of 1,464 important nominations from 1965 to 1994, less than 5% failed. Ninety-four percent of failures were rejected or withdrawn before reaching the floor, suggesting that opponents are most effective during prefloor stages. We propose a theoretical framework based on the notion that policy entrepreneurs pursue their goals within the context of a presumption of su…
