又名美国总统“掺沙子”指南——美国总统如何通过“政治任命”(political appointment)干涉官僚机构的政策导向。结论并不新鲜(政治任命的确影响了bureaucratic performance;不同机构中政治任命的影响不同;两党都乐于安排自己人,而非共和党一家特色),但是数据确实扎实。对于思考trump administration当下的表现有一定启发。

评分翻书党# 总统任命机构官员对机构会有影响,任命大概是除了预算之外,最好的政治控制方式。中国的官员任命是另一回事情了,当然预算可能内部争得激烈,外部是完全不当一回事情的。 [追加更新]非常棒的一本书,力荐。主要结论总统任命降低了行政机构的绩效,总统任命是为了增强对行政机构的控制力,与机构意见不合,有国会支持,以及有很大的patronage需求的时候,总统都会选择增加任命,不管是共和党总统还是民主党总统都是如此。这个political control的分析框架其实不仅可以放在democratic system中来用,也可以用到中国这样的国家。而且分析还可以用在state-society的框架中。

评分其实并不是很赞成所有的argument,虽然lewis在这方面的研究非常有趣,可以去看看他在USC的演讲大概就是这本书的概括,然后看看听众们的表情……不过能把那么无聊的东西说的不那么无聊其实也挺难得的,期待后续研究结果
In the wake of Hurricane Katrina, many questioned whether the large number of political appointees in the Federal Emergency Management Agency contributed to the agency's poor handling of the catastrophe, ultimately costing hundreds of lives and causing immeasurable pain and suffering. "The Politics of Presidential Appointments" examines in depth how and why Presidents use political appointees and how their choices impact government performance - for better or worse. One way presidents can influence the permanent bureaucracy is by filling key posts with people who are sympathetic to their policy goals.But if the president's appointees lack competence and an agency fails in its mission - as with Katrina - the president is accused of employing his friends and allies to the detriment of the public. Through case studies and cutting-edge analysis, David Lewis takes a fascinating look at presidential appointments dating back to the 1960s to learn which jobs went to appointees, which agencies were more likely to have appointees, how the use of appointees varied by administration, and how it affected agency performance. He argues that Presidents politicize even when it hurts performance - and often with support from Congress - because they need agencies to be responsive to presidential direction. He shows how agency missions and personnel - and whether they line up with the president's vision - determine which agencies presidents target with appointees, and he sheds new light on the important role patronage plays in appointment decisions.
