Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Offers introspective essays reflecting distinctive leadership and management styles by fifteen of the nation's governors, clustered under three major themes. The first theme, gubernatorial challenges (constraints and opportunities), provides an institutional framework from which the modern governorship derives its authority, constraints, and opportunities for leadership. Secondly, gubernatorial roles (leadership and management) offers an introspective and personal view of the governorship by the practitioners themselves. Finally, the section on governors in action (case studies, ranging from Three Mile Island to educational reform) offers a glimpse of governing techniques and practices applied to real life situations and crises in state government. The essayists, all presenting their views while still in office include Governors Lamar Alexander, Tennessee; John Ashcroft, Missouri; Victor Atiyeh, Oregon; Terry Branstad, Iowa; John Carlin, Kansas; Richard Celeste, Ohio; Booth Gardner, Washington; Bob Graham, Florida; Madeleine Kunin, Vermont; Richard Lamm, Colorado; Scott Matheson, Utah; Richard Riley, South Carolina; Charles Robb, Virginia; John Sununu, New Hampshire; and Dick Thornburgh, Pennsylvania. The essays are a compendium of presentation made by the governors while participating as Gubernatorial Fellows at Duke University from 1984 to 1988. Co-published with the National Governors' Association.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book examines divided government from a new perspective. By turning to governors and agenda setting, the stage of the policymaking processes where the opportunities for success in terms of legislative output are defined, perhaps the real impact of divided government may be observed. This book compares the agenda setting strategies of four governors, two in states with divided government and two in states with unified government. The analysis is based on legislative records, the governors' state of the state addresses, and in-depth interviews conducted with the governors, their staff members, state legislators, and journalists. Although divided government does not produce gridlock or stalemate at the state level, it is not without impact on governing. Divided government helps to explain a governor's choice of strategy in agenda setting, influencing whether he will work primarily within the system or go public. However, a combination of other factors also affect the agenda setting process. The four case studies provide examples of how agenda setting strategies are explained best by the interplay between personal characteristics of a governor, including his experience and personality, and political factors, including electoral outcomes, the governor's popular support, and his relationship with the legislature, in addition to divided or unified party control.

Book excerpt: This book strives to address this gap in the research literature by focusing on the intergovernmental role of the nation's governors. This is done by examining the lobbying efforts of the governors through their national organization, the National Governors Association (NGA). The NGA has been a prominent representative of state interests for a number of decades, and the increasingly complex relationships between the states and the federal government--and the governors' role as manager of those relationships--have ensured that the governors and the NGA remain at the center of many critical national policy debates. Furthermore, the NGA serves as the primary organizing body of the governors, and the organization allows the state executives to effectively exert their influence over important policy decisions at the federal level. For these reasons, the NGA is a most appropriate organization for the study of governors as they work to influence federal policy.Taking a mixed method approach, this study highlights the factors that affect the ability of governors to shape national policy decisions and examines the results in the context of contemporary literature on the governorship, intergovernmental relations, and federalism. This book is therefore ideal for all who are interested in U.S. governorship, intergovernmental relations, and federalism generally.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Governor's Dilemma develops a general theory of indirect governance based on the tradeoff between governor control and intermediary competence; the empirical chapters apply that theory to a diverse range of cases encompassing both international relations and comparative politics. The theoretical framework paper starts from the observation that virtually all governance is indirect, carried out through intermediaries. But governors in indirect governance relationships face a dilemma: competent intermediaries gain power from the competencies they contribute, making them difficult to control, while efforts to control intermediary behavor limit important intermediary competencies, including expertise, credibility, and legitimacy. Thus, governors can obtain either high intermediary competence or strong control, but not both. This competence-control tradeoff is a common condition of indirect governance, whether governors are domestic or international, public or private, democratic or authoritarian; and whether governance addresses economic, security, or social issues. The empirical chapters analyze the operation and implications of the governor's dilemma in cases involving the governance of violence (e.g., secret police, support for foreign rebel groups, private security companies), the governance of markets (e.g., the Euro crisis, capital markets, EU regulation, the G20), and cross-cutting governance issues (colonial empires, "Trump's Dilemma"). Competence-control theory helps explain many features of governance that other theories cannot: why indirect governance is not limited to principal-agent delegation, but takes multiple forms; why governors create seemingly counter-productive intermediary relationships; and why indirect governance is frequently unstable over time.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A state governor is the leader of all the people of a state, just like a leader of an organization speaks for its people. Being a leader in a school or community organization is a great experience, but it takes a lot of work. The road to becoming a politician can seem complicated, especially when you think about being elected. With content that explores the role of the state governor, who is eligible, and how one is elected, this book uniquely relates state governors experiences to readers working for student leadership positions.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With limited authority over state lawmaking, but ultimate responsibility for the performance of government, how effective are governors in moving their programs through the legislature? This book advances a new theory about what makes chief executives most successful and explores this theory through original data. Thad Kousser and Justin H. Phillips argue that negotiations over the budget, on the one hand, and policy bills on the other are driven by fundamentally different dynamics. They capture these dynamics in models informed by interviews with gubernatorial advisors, cabinet members, press secretaries and governors themselves. Through a series of novel empirical analyses and rich case studies, the authors demonstrate that governors can be powerful actors in the lawmaking process, but that what they're bargaining over – the budget or policy – shapes both how they play the game and how often they can win it.
