From the Outside In examines the profound impact of World War II on
American government. The book argues that the wartime and immediate
postwar experiences of the 1940s transformed and redirected the
policies and government institutions of the New Deal. In a work
that makes significant contributions to the study of U.S. politics
and history, Bartholomew Sparrow proposes a new model of the state
and of "state-building." The author applies this model, which
derives from the resource dependence perspective, to the historical
record of four areas of public policy: social security,
labor-management relations, public finance, and military
procurement. This book is the first to use recently available
archival materials documenting the consequences of World War II for
the programs and political agendas of the welfare state. It is also
the first to apply the resource dependency perspective to the U.S.
federal government as a complex organization. The book will lead
readers to reevaluate the impact of international factors on
American political development, to reappraise the role of the New
Deal in shaping the postwar federal government, and to reconsider
the application of organizational theory to American government.
From the Outside In will be of particular interest to political
scientists, political sociologists, and historians. It will appeal
to anyone with an interest in the comprehensive effects of the
Second World War on domestic policies and U.S. government itself.
