Description

Explore the changing landscape of American government with Inside the Bureaucracy: The View From the Assistant Secretary's Desk. Published by Routledge, this work examines the shifting power dynamics between the White House and Cabinet agencies. As the role of political executives in the White House has grown, the specific contributions of assistant secretaries have often been overlooked. This book looks at how the assistant secretary position has evolved from its original purpose of directing presidential programs to encompass much broader responsibilities. It specifically examines how President Carter's efforts to reestablish Cabinet primacy created new possibilities for reinvigorating these roles. This text provides a substantial analysis of the administrative structures and the political executives who operate within them, making it a valuable resource for those studying United States government and politics.
