Structured chronologically, A Legacy of Leadership places governors in contrast and comparison with one another as well as within the context of their times to show how a century of dramatic developments-war and peace, depression and prosperity-led governors to rethink and expand their positions of leadership. The nine chapters of compelling new scholarship presented here connect the experiences of dynamic individual governors and the evolution of the gubernatorial office to the broader challenges the United States has faced throughout the turbulent twentieth century. Taken together, they demonstrate how interstate cooperation became essential as governors increasingly embraced national and international perspectives to promote their own states' competitiveness. Published for the centennial of the National Governors Association, A Legacy of Leadership is an eloquent demonstration of how, to a great extent, we live in a country that governors created. 606 $aGovernors$zUnited States$xHistory$y20th century 606 $aWomen governors$zUnited States 606 $aDecentralization in government$zUnited States$xHistory$y20th century 607 $aUnited States$xPolitics and government$y20th century 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aGovernors$xHistory 615 0$aWomen governors 615 0$aDecentralization in government$xHistory 676 $a973.9092/2 701 $aBrooks$b Clayton McClure$01049570 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910462636903321 996 $aA legacy of leadership$92478704 997 $aUNINA
