Presidential leadership in America can and does make a great deal
of difference to what is debated and eventually legislated. At the
same time presidents are obviously constrained by what is always a
complex and difficult political environment. In this study Dr McKay
examines the interaction between presidential policy preferences
and the political environment, concentrating on welfare and urban
policy and intergovernmental relations under Johnson, Nixon, Carter
and Reagan. McKay traces the origins of domestic initiatives,
assesses the intellectual coherence of policies and examines the
ways in which the four presidents adapted their strategies
according to their legislative fortunes and the experience of
implementing policies. Throughout the work, McKay measures the
independent influence of the White House on policy and draws
conclusions for theories of American political development, in
particular for the opportunities and constraints provided by the
fragmentation of the New Deal political regime.
