Book Synopsis The Effectiveness of Legislative Program Review by : Richard E. Brown
Download or read book The Effectiveness of Legislative Program Review written by Richard E. Brown and published by Transaction Publishers. This book was released on 1979-01 with total page 157 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Although much has been written about how state legislative audit-evaluation studies should be and are conducted, little has been written about what the actual published reports contain, and why the findings and recommendations in the reports are used or ignored. The first section of the volume focuses on seventeen state legislative audit-evaluation agencies and their work. Included is a review of 288 reports published by the agencies that focuses on the topics covered, report formats, amount of staff effort, data gathering techniques, recommendations made, and written responses from executive branch officials. The second part of the book addresses the issue of impact and implementation -- the "so what?" question. Staff members from audit-evaluation agencies in Hawaii, Kansas, Mississippi, Montana, New York, South Carolina, and Tennessee each describe the conduct and impact of their "most implemented" and "least implemented" reports. The editor then reviews and summarizes the factors which promote or impede the utilization of report findings and recommendations. The attitude of executive branch officials, press coverage, nature of findings and recommendations, report timing, interest of the legislature, choice of the subjects reviewed, and legislator approval of the topics are judged to be the most important factors.
Book Synopsis Legislative Effectiveness in the United States Congress by : Craig Volden
Download or read book Legislative Effectiveness in the United States Congress written by Craig Volden and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2014-10-27 with total page 261 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book explores why some members of Congress are more effective than others at navigating the legislative process and what this means for how Congress is organized and what policies it produces. Craig Volden and Alan E. Wiseman develop a new metric of individual legislator effectiveness (the Legislative Effectiveness Score) that will be of interest to scholars, voters, and politicians alike. They use these scores to study party influence in Congress, the successes or failures of women and African Americans in Congress, policy gridlock, and the specific strategies that lawmakers employ to advance their agendas.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Constituents often fail to hold their representatives accountable for federal spending decisions—even though those very choices have a pervasive influence on American life. Why does this happen? Breaking new ground in the study of representation, The Impression of Influence demonstrates how legislators skillfully inform constituents with strategic communication and how this facilitates or undermines accountability. Using a massive collection of Congressional texts and innovative experiments and methods, the book shows how legislators create an impression of influence through credit claiming messages. Anticipating constituents' reactions, legislators claim credit for programs that elicit a positive response, making constituents believe their legislator is effectively representing their district. This spurs legislators to create and defend projects popular with their constituents. Yet legislators claim credit for much more—they announce projects long before they begin, deceptively imply they deserve credit for expenditures they had little role in securing, and boast about minuscule projects. Unfortunately, legislators get away with seeking credit broadly because constituents evaluate the actions that are reported, rather than the size of the expenditures. The Impression of Influence raises critical questions about how citizens hold their political representatives accountable and when deception is allowable in a democracy.

Book Synopsis Representation in State Legislatures by : Malcolm E. Jewell
Download or read book Representation in State Legislatures written by Malcolm E. Jewell and published by University Press of Kentucky. This book was released on 2021-03-17 with total page 274 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Every two years American voters turn out to elect several thousand representatives to state legislatures. Only now in Representation in State Legislatures do we have a detailed examination of how these officials perceive their jobs and how they attempt to do them. To provide answers to these questions, Malcolm E. Jewell conducted intensive interviews with 220 members of houses of representatives in nine selected states. He asked each legislator how he kept in touch with his constituents, how he resolved matters of policy, how he sought government resources for his district, and what services he provided for individual constituents. State legislatures differ greatly, and they are not institutionalized to the same degree as the national congress. It is difficult, therefore, to generalize on such effects as partisanship. Likewise it appears that past explanatory models do not adequately describe the complex relationships seen by most legislators in their work. The state legislature is changing. It is becoming more institutionalized. It is becoming more stable as fewer members retire and more are reelected. The trend is toward longer sessions, increased staff, and more activity. With this trend the legislator is becoming more visible; he can deal with lawmaking while having greater opportunities to provide services and to gain publicity for them. As the move, begun by the Reagan administration, to put more responsibility for programs on the states continues, the state legislatures will assume a place of greater importance in the governing of the United States. This pioneering study of representation will thereby gain significance both for the understanding it imparts and for the new questions it raises.
Book Synopsis The Evolution of American Legislatures by : Peverill Squire
Download or read book The Evolution of American Legislatures written by Peverill Squire and published by University of Michigan Press. This book was released on 2012-06-25 with total page 440 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The institutional development of American legislatures, beginning with the first colonial assembly of 1619, has been marked by continuity as well as change. Peverill Squire draws upon a wealth of primary sources to document this institutional history. Beginning with the ways in which colonial assemblies followed the precedents of British institutions, Squire traces the fundamental ways they evolved to become distinct. He next charts the formation of the first state legislatures and the Constitutional Congress, describes the creation of territorial and new state legislatures, and examines the institutionalization of state legislatures in the nineteenth century and their professionalization since 1900. With his conclusion, Squire discusses the historical trajectory of American legislatures and suggests how they might further develop over the coming decades. While Squire's approach will appeal to historians, his focus on the evolution of rules, procedures, and standing committee systems, as well as member salaries, legislative sessions, staff, and facilities, will be valuable to political scientists and legislative scholars.
