Presidential Management of Budgetary and Fiscal Policymaking
David C. Mowery, Mark S. Kamlet, AND John P. Crecine examine presidential management of three parallel executive branch budgetary policy processes-domestic budgeting, defense budgeting, and fiscal policy. After surveying the Eisenhower, Kennedy, and Johnson administrations, the authors offer recommendations on how a president can balance the competing demands of fiscal and budgetary policy planning.
