This book illuminates the decision-making process of the U.S.
Senate by examining the Trade Agreements Act of 1979. The purpose
of Jerome's study is threefold: first, to discuss the legislative
process dealing with the act, and thereby to document the
particular nature of Senate decision-making. Second, the author
reviews current decision-making theories and examines various
points of his case study to see how reality conforms with the
theories. Finally, he suggests revisions of the decision-making
theories. Jerome creates three broad theoretical categories to
analyze the Senate decision-making process: The first stresses a
structural approach; the second emphasizes factors that influence
the decision; and the third emphasizes specific behavioral
patterns. Over the course of the decision-making process, the
author argues, no one dimension is necessarily more important than
another. He develops a model that views the process as a time line
or braided rope with each of the three dimensions comprising one
cord of the rope. By slicing through this rope the decision process
can be examined at various points, emphasizing the strengths and
weaknesses in each of the individual theories. Because Jerome's
conceptual framework is based on an insider's perspective, his work
will be of considerable interest to political scientists studying
decision-making theories and the legislative process. Economists
interested in trade policy will also find this book useful.
