Terrorism and National Security Reform demonstrates that
blue-ribbon commissions can be powerful vehicles for policy change,
overturning the conventional wisdom that views them only as devices
for passing the buck. Jordan Tama explains how the unique political
credibility of commissions can enable them to forge bipartisan
consensus on tough policy challenges. He also shows that
commissions are most valuable during a crisis, when policymakers
face pressure to make changes but frequently cannot agree on what
to do. Using an original database, case studies, and more than 200
interviews of policymakers and commission participants, Tama
reveals how commissions have shaped Barack Obama's plan for ending
the Iraq War, spurred the largest government and intelligence
overhauls since 1947, and driven many other elements of U.S.
counterterrorism policy. In an era of unrelenting partisanship and
extreme polarization, this book shows that commissions are
increasingly valuable policymaking tools.
