"This book is at once important and readable! Howell takes a long
step beyond the modern literature that stresses the Presidency and
legislation. He focuses instead upon initiatives a President can
take with relative freedom from Congress and customary deference
from courts; namely, executive orders: what? when? why? (also: why
not?). Howell's model-building and discussions of his findings with
its aid are themselves models of incisive analysis."--Richard E.
Neustadt, Harvard University, author of "Preparing to be President"
"William Howell persuasively demonstrates that policymaking in
the United States cannot be studied within a single institutional
arena in isolation. In this innovative study, he draws on theories
of executive-legislative and executive-judicial relations to build
a model of presidential unilateral action and tests his claims on
impressive original datasets. While few will agree with all of
Howell's arguments, his book will likely set both an agenda and a
standard for future studies of policymaking and the separation of
powers."--Nolan McCarty, Princeton University
"This is one of the best books on the presidency in recent
years. The theory is clear and sensible, the data superb, and the
case studies on-point and fascinating. It is also a pleasure to
read."--Charles Cameron, Columbia University, author of "Veto
Bargaining"
""Power without Persuasion" will be an enormously influential
book on the presidency and American political institutions. It
promises to change scholars' thinking about presidential
policymaking and, in doing so, become a catalyst for future work.
The rigor of the analysis is high, and the writing and presentation
are clear. The book willbe widely assigned to students."--Brandice
Canes-Wrone, Northwestern University
