Description: "In this book, David Epstein and Sharyn O'Halloran present the first unified theory of national policy making. Examining major U.S. policy initiatives from 1947 to 1992, the authors describe the conditions under which the legislature narrowly constrains executive discretion and when it delegates authority to the bureaucracy."--Jacket.
