Reseña del editor:

"The Modern Presidency, Fifth Edition", is a concise, accessible and sophisticated text on the presidency. Case studies - a major strength of this short text - illustrate important aspects of presidential action and decision-making. Written by a top scholar on the presidency, and thoroughly updated through 2006 to include the presidency of George W. Bush, the text deals not only with presidents as individuals, but also with the large institutions that make up the modern presidency.
