Beginning in the late 1950s and continuing through the 1970s, the
United States experienced a vast expansion in national policy
making. During this period, the federal government extended its
scope into policy arenas previously left to civil society or state
and local governments. With The Great Broadening, Bryan D. Jones,
Sean M. Theriault, and Michelle Whyman examine in detail the
causes, internal dynamics, and consequences of this extended burst
of activity. They argue that the broadening of government
responsibilities into new policy areas such as health care, civil
rights, and gender issues and the increasing depth of existing
government programs explain many of the changes in America politics
since the 1970s. Increasing government attention to particular
issues was motivated by activist groups. In turn, the beneficiaries
of the government policies that resulted became supporters of the
government's activity, leading to the broad acceptance of its role.
This broadening and deepening of government, however, produced a
reaction as groups critical of its activities organized to resist
and roll back its growth.
