Public Bureaucracies
The purpose of this chapter is to review research which has focused upon public bureaucracies and to present a summary of the state of the existing knowledge about such organizations. 1 The immediate problem is one of definition. What is meant by “public bureaucracy”? How do “public bureaucracies” differ from other kinds of human organization? Not much effort needs to be spent trying to define “organizations” per se. Many attempts have already be…

Dilemmas of Party Leadership: Majority Whips in the U.S. House of Representatives, 1962-1982
This article examines party leadership in the context of personal ambition, institutional commitments and the representative's dilemma of choosing between a national vs. local perspective. The research focus is on the careers of five recent House Democratic party leaders and their tenure as appointed majority whips. From these case studies the whip, who occupies the third-ranking leadership post in the House, appears as an emerging leader who mus…
Leadership in Legislatures: Evolution, Selection, Functions
This essay provides an inventory of contemporary research on leadership in and of legislatures. Research is organized into three main subsections: (1) the evolution of legislative leadership; (2) the selection of internal party leaders, such as speakers, floor leaders, and whips, as well as of external leaders, such as prime ministers and presidents; and (3) the functions performed by leaders.

Research on Congress: The 1970s and Beyond
What is the state of contemporary research on Congress? Entering the decade of the 1980s, the level of research commitment by congressional scholars seems high, the quality of output has been sustained. Books and articles on the workings of Congress continue to multiply. Theory-building, while pluralistic and eclectic, nevertheless shows promise of accumulated findings and at least the hint of unification to come. In general, research on Congress…

Committees from the Leadership Perspective
Party leaders and committee leaders in the United States Congress, while sometimes adversaries, are more often collaborators in the legislative process. Much congressional research has centered upon committee structure and operations; another extensive focus of study has been party leadership. Unfortunately, we have only a rudimentary knowledge about the range of possible relationships between party leaders and committee leaders. This paper explo…

Party Leadership Change in the United States House of Representatives
Long periods of one-party domination, increased average tenure in office for Representatives, and the institutionalization of patterns of succession to the Speakership, have all contributed to a tendency toward leadership stability in the 20th-century House of Representatives. The election of Sam Rayburn (D., Texas) and John McCormack (D., Mass.) to the offices of Speaker and Majority Leader in 1940, of Joseph Martin (R., Mass.) to the office of …
