520 |a Stephen Skowronek's insights have altered our understanding of the American presidency. His "political time" thesis has been influential, revealing how presidents reckon with work of their predecessors, situate their power within recent political events, and assert their authority in service of change. In the first edition, Skowronek revisited that thesis to make better sense of the presidencies of Bill Clinton and George W. Bush. In this new edition, he also addresses the first two years of Barack Obama's presidency. Already considered a classic and widely used in courses on the presidency, Skowronek's book has expanded our understanding of Presidency and debates over politics of leadership. It clarifies typical political problems that presidents confront in political time, and the likely effects of their working through them. Drawing out parallels in politics of leadership between Andrew Jackson and Franklin Roosevelt and between James Polk and John Kennedy, it develops a new perspective on the presidential leadership of Clinton, Bush, and now Obama. In this edition, Skowronek devotes an entirely new chapter to Obama's presidency and its prospects for becoming transformational, like presidencies of Jefferson, Jackson, Lincoln, FDR, and Reagan, all of whom succeeded to varying degrees in reconstructing playing field of national politics. He wonders if this kind of leadership is still even possible, given current divided state of America's polity. He also takes a fresh look at impact of the twenty-four-hour news cycle, of a more disciplined and homogeneous Republican Party, of conservative advocacy of the "unitary theory" of the executive, and of progressive disillusionment with the presidency as an institution. Skowronek's book brims with fresh insights on institution of the executive office and workings of the American political system--Publisher's description.
