As the central feature on the American political landscape, it is
only natural that scholars and commentators focus on the
presidency. So much is written about the subject, in fact, that it
is often difficult to know where we stand in our understanding of
it. The Oxford Handbook of the American Presidency will help
scholars assess the state of scholarship on the presidency and the
directions in which it needs to move. Never before has the academic
literature on the American presidency received such an extended
treatment. Nearly three dozen chapters critically assess both the
major contributions to a literature on a dimension of the
presidency and the ways in which the literature has developed. The
authors of each chapter seek to identify weaknesses in the existing
literature- be they logical flaws, methodological errors,
oversights, or some combination therein-and to offer their views
about especially productive lines of future inquiry. Equally
important, the authors also identify areas of research that are
unlikely to bear additional fruits. These chapters offer a
distinctive point of view, an argument about the successes and
failures of past scholarship, and a set of recommendations about
how future work ought to develop. Thus, this volume will help set
the agenda for research on the presidency for the next decade. The
Oxford Handbooks of American Politics are a set of reference books
offering authoritative and engaging critical overviews of the state
of scholarship on American politics. Each volume focuses on a
particular aspect of the field. The project is under the General
Editorship of George C. Edwards III, and distinguished specialists
in their respective fields edit each volume. The Handbooks aim not
just to report on the discipline, but also to shape it as scholars
critically assess the scholarship on a topic and propose directions
in which it needs to move. The series is an indispensable reference
for anyone working in American politics. General Editor for The
Oxford Handbooks of American Politics: George C. Edwards III.
