The underappreciated but surprisingly successful implementation of
the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) helped rescue the
economy during the Great Recession and represented one of the most
important achievements of the Obama presidency. It tested all
levels of government with urgent time frames and extensive
accountability requirements. While ARRA passed most tests with
comparatively little mismanagement or fraud, negative public and
media perceptions of the initiative deprived the president of
political credit. Drawing on more than two hundred interviews and
nationwide field research, Governing under Stress examines a range
of ARRA stimulus programs to analyze the fraught politics, complex
implementation, and impact of the legislation. Essays from public
administration scholars use ARRA to study how to implement large
federal programs in our modern era of indirect, networked
governance. Throughout, the contributors present potent insights
into the most pressing challenges facing public policy and
management, and they uncover important lessons about policy
instruments and networks, the effects of transparency and
accountability, and the successes and failures of different types
of government intervention.
