ABOUT THIS BOOK

Eighteen distinguished scholars and practicing officials address the problems of executive leadership in the United States, Britain, Canada, and Australia. Individual essays focus on cabinet government; domestic, military, and economic advisers; executive agencies; and personal staff for presidents and prime ministers. Provocative comparisons between and among systems make the discussions particularly insightful.

REVIEWS

“This collection of eighteen essays by scholars and practitioners examines the problems faced by executive leaders in the United States, Britain, Canada, and Australia. . . . The book provides a wealth of information-some new and some reformulated-and informed perspectives on the nature, challenges, and prospects of executive leadership in the major English-speaking countries.”
—Policy Currents

“The comparative analyses provided . . . is a useful reminder of differences in executive leadership that characterize even systems that on the surface would appear to be quite similar.”
—American Political Science Review

“The collection brings together a set of first-class papers in the area of leadership studies. . . . All the papers are of uniformly high standard and together make for a highly readable, methodologically sound and useful collection.”
