Chapter Chapter 4 in American Administrative Capacity, 2021, pp 73-93 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract In the previous chapter, we examined the literature to arrive at a definition of capacity consisting of five core dimensions that reconcile politics with administration. Conflicts in history dominated by presidential politics generated imbalance among those dimensions, weakening capacity overall. In this chapter, we develop our framework further by explaining capacity’s movement within the dynamics of administrative reform. We describe how the literature of American political development provides insights in understanding the coevolutionary dynamics of presidential dominance and capacity decay.
