  • State Building in Crisis Governance

    Open AccessNicholas F Jacobs, Nicholas Jacobs et al.ARTICLEPolitical Science Quarterly2022Cited by: 1

    THE STORY OF AMERICAN STATE BUILDING is one in which crisis, once episodic, has become a routine feature of American politics. At the heart of this development is the modern executive: emergency powers are presidential powers. The principal objective of this article is to highlight institutional developments since the late 1960s that framed the Donald Trump administration's actions during the COVID-19 pandemic and currently roil the American stat…

    Open AccessSidney M Milki, Sidney M MilkisARTICLEJournal of American History2021

    In Two Suns of the Southwest Nancy Beck Young argues that Arizona senator Barry Goldwater and incumbent president Lyndon B. Johnson engaged in a battle for America's soul—a struggle between liberalism and conservatism that exposed the frayed consensus of post–World War II America and reverberates through our own political time. Young, a history professor at the University of Houston, is also intrigued by the sun belt heritage that Johnson and Gol…

  • Debating the American State

    Sidney M Milki, Sidney M MilkisARTICLEJournal of American History2017

    Debating the American State seeks to join together what contemporary political scientists and historians have all too often torn asunder—political thought and the study of institutions. Yet, although she presumes the existence of an American state—indeed, dubs it the “new leviathan”—Anne M. Kornhauser fails to uncover a principled defense of an executive-centered, expertise-driven authority. Her core argument is that fundamental concerns about th…

    This article explores the troubled relationship between the presidency and the political parties. The modern presidency became part of the living constitution as the guardian of new rights. Ronald Reagan was the first modern president to pose fundamental challenges to received government arrangements, a stance that required the support of a national, programmatic Republican Party. His efforts to square the institution of the modern presidency wit…

    This study examines the relationship between party politics and administrative reform during the 1930s. The basic thesis of this article is that the politics of the Democratic party and the executive department converged in such a way during the genesis of the New Deal so that the presidency is institutionalized and strengthened while the traditional party system is weakened. In effect, Franklin D. Roosevelt's party leadership and the policies th…

    Open AccessSidney M Milki, Sidney M MilkisARTICLEPolitical Science Quarterly1985Cited by: 2

    We have witnessed a serious decline since the mid-1960s in the organizational strength and popular support of American political parties. Most scholars who have sought to explain the weakening of the traditional party system have looked to changes occurring in the electoral process that have had a direct effect on the disaggregation of party loyalty among voters. For example, Walter Dean Burnham stresses party reforms and political developments a…
