David R. Mayhew looks at two centuries of policy making-from the Civil War and Reconstruction era through the Progressive era, the New Deal, the Great Society, the Reagan years, and the aspirations of the Clinton and Bush administrations-and offers his original insights on the ever-evolving American policy experience. These fourteen essays were written over the past three decades and collectively showcase Mayhew's skepticism of the usefulness of political parties as an analytic window into American politics. These writings, which include a new introductory essay, probe beneath the parties to the essentials of the U.S. constitutional system and the impulses and idiosyncrasies of history. 606 $aPolitical planning$zUnited States 606 $aPolitical parties$zUnited States 606 $aPolicy sciences 607 $aUnited States$xPolitics and government 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aPolitical planning 615 0$aPolitical parties 615 0$aPolicy sciences. 676 $a320.60973 700 $aMayhew$b David R$0696724 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910455345103321 996 $aParties and policies$92490665 997 $aUNINA
