Presidents as Candidates

First published in 1998. It is with great pleasure that we introduce the inaugural volume in the series âœPolitics and Policy in American Institutions. â The series strives to show the interaction of American political institutions within the context of public policymaking. Presidents as Candidates offers a truly unique treatment of the White House role in the re-election efforts of contemporary presidents since 1956. Throughout the volume Kathryn Tenpas compares and contrasts these eight re-election efforts (from Eisenhower through Clinton). She considers the many unique differences and similarities of each White House-led effort. As with any good study she considers the multitude of political institutional and policy factors (domestic economic and international) that affect the strategies and decisions made. Language: English
