Book 1
The constitutional system of the United States is one of shared powers and checks and balances. This volume of essays, the first in the series, approaches the study of the presidency as seen from the perspective of the Congress and the Judiciary; in other words,from the perspective of governance. On the one hand, these studies should lead to a deeper understanding of 'the presidency in action,' bringing presidential studies into the real world of shared powers. On the other hand, this approach permits us to begin to look at the role of the other branches making up the constitutional system as they interrelate and influence the presidency. The contributors to the book are former Supreme Court Justices and senior Congressmen and Senators, such as long time chairman of the House Ways and Means Committee, Richard Bolling, and the highly respected Justice Lewis Powell. Co-published with the Miller Center of Public Affairs.
Both the public and new scholarship demonstrate an increasing interest in the subject of governance. This is the third volume in a Miller Center series on governance.

Contributors: James Thurber, Constance Newman, Thomas Young, John Stempel, John Tuthill, Eamon Gallagher, Steve Finkel, and Sig Michelson. Co-published with the Miller Center of Public Affairs.
Governance V studies and compares the structure and functions of governance. The first section of the book examines the authority of Supreme Court decisions, political reform and Congress, and the role of presidential speech writers in executive leadership. The second part of the volume then turns to the culture of governance in the public and private sectors. The third section shifts from institutions and culture to the dynamic processes of governance and the issues with which governance is seized. A scholar, a diplomat and a governor address the key questions about process and issues in governance. Contributors: Louis Fisher, Congressman David E. Price, C. Landon Parvin, William Bragg Ewald, Jr., Sander Vanocur, Ray Scherer, Robert Donovan, James P. Pfiffner, Ambassador George McGhee, and Governor Lowell P. Weicker, Jr. Co-published with the Miller Center.
