  • In the Shadow of the Presidency: Presidential Management and the Influence of Cabinet Secretaries
    In the Shadow of the Presidency: Presidential Management and the Influence of Cabinet Secretaries by John C. Koehler A dissertation submitted to the Graduate Faculty of Auburn University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy Auburn, Alabama May 7, 2016 Approved by Gerard S. Gryski, Chair, Curtis O. Liles Professor Emeritus of Political Science Cynthia Bowling, Professor of Political Science Linda Dennard, Professor of Political Science William Franko, Assistant Professor of Political Science Abstract Scholars today recognize weaknesses in the president’s ability to pass significant legislation. I ask how presidents can increase their overall influence. They must look internally at their management style and the organization of the Executive Branch. They must also improve their relationship with other political actors, namely Congress and interest groups. Several studies have looked at presidential organization focusing on White House staff and other parts of the Executive Office of the President, such as the Office of Management and Budgeting. I suggest that cabinet secretaries are an overlooked presidential resource. How helpful a resource are cabinet secretaries and how can they be utilized? It depends upon a president’s management style – their level of involvement and the level of clarity with which they give direction. This study provides a typology of four different managerial approaches of modern presidents and analyzes four cases to highlight the importance of cooperation and coordination with Executive Department heads in policy-making. I conclude that secretaries can help the president influence Congress and interest groups. The working relationship that the president has with their cabinet members affects how an administration makes decisions, which proposals it supports, as well as the legislative success of those proposals.

A 90—page Tui,:;iamer executive cession of the Warren Commission includes their deliberation on that flap. It, too, is in facsinile in this new book. I was rerrindwl of thin in just rending your H K piece in the October Washingtonian. Good piece. It appears to represent more work than one would ordinarily invent in a nagszins piece.

Antes al contrario, a esta trabajo de investigación han contribuido desinteresada y decisivamente numerosas personas que, bien como respuesta a un requerimiento formulado por mí, bien motu proprio, demostraron una curiosidad por la figura de José María de Areilza al menos tan vigorosa como la que mueve a este investigador desde hace bastante tiempo. Procedo ahora citar sus nombres en forma tanto de postrero agradecimiento como de homenaje de admiración. Los profesores universitarios Rosa Pardo y Florentino Portero pusieron a mi disposición gran cantidad de documentación primaria que obraba en su poder y cuya consulta en los archivos correspondientes se había revelado imposible. Con Pedro Fernández Barbadillo y José Miguel Ortí Bordás mantuve fecundísimas conversaciones sobre Areilza y el régimen de Franco que iluminaron mi senda investigadora y me revelaron el enorme calibre intelectual de mis interlocutores.
