Power of American Governors - Kousser, Thad (University of California, San Diego) a Phillips, Justin H. (Columbia University, New York)

This book asks whether governors can effectively govern? Thad Kousser and Justin H. Phillips advance a new theory of executive power, to demonstrate that governors can be powerful actors in the lawmaking process, but what they're bargaining over shapes both how they play the game and how often they win.
