Synopsis

"All people want to talk about these days is the Republican 'revolution' in the process and substance of public policy. This collection of essays gives us a framework for assessing the novelty of the `revolution' and, more importantly, for grounding today's policy developments in the changes in American politics and political philosophy over the past two decades." -- Richard A. Brody, Stanford University.

"An ambitious, provocative book that develops a powerful argument explaining how and why policy innovation is more characteristic of the American system than gridlock." -- Thomas E. Mann, The Brookings Institution.

"In this book many of the most distinguished analysts of American public policies and processes offer fresh, challenging, and often illuminating commentaries." -- Austin Ranney, University of California, Berkeley
