Gubernatorial Leadership and State Policy Eric B Herzik

It is crucial, therefore, that an effective and responsive state government have a strong leader at the helm - the governor. Eric B. Herzik and Brent W. Brown have brought together a collection of essays that provide an analysis of the factors that influence gubernatorial performance and the roles that governors assume when interacting with the major components of the state policymaking process.
