Description

Sarah McCally Morehouse explores the relationship between governors as political campaigners and as policymakers and presents important new evidence on the link between the way a governor is elected and the strength of the governor in the policy-making process. Morehouse looks first at gubernatorial campaigning and later at the ability of the governor to affect the policy-making process; through a review of ten states in the early 1980s and again in the early 1990s, Morehouse is able to draw conclusions about the impact of the way a governor is elected on the governor's ability to lead. This book will appeal to those who are interested in state politics, electoral politics, and the ways that states will respond to new demands for dealing with social issues.
