A history and evaluation of the "imperial presidency" in America argues that presidents from the last thirty years have increased the power of their station at the expense of democracy, in an account that expands its coverage beyond foreign policy practices to reveal less-realized means through which the executive branch's power has been institutionalized.

Hardcover. Zustand: Very good. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: Very good. 432 pages. Notes. Index. Matthew Crenson '63 began teaching in the Department of Political Science in 1969 and became a professor emeritus in Urban Government and American Political Development, his primary areas of interest, in 2007. Crenson has authored or co-authored several books including Downsizing Democracy, Building the Invisible Orphanage, and Presidential Power: Unchecked and Unbalanced. Benjamin Ginsberg (born 1947) is a libertarian political scientist and professor at Johns Hopkins University who is notable for his criticism of American politics, in which he says that citizens have become "marginalized as political actors" and political parties weakened while state power has grown. His assessment of the futility of voting, along with his notion that the public has an illusion of control over government, has caused controversy, and some of his explanations have been criticized. He is a co-author, with Matthew Crenson, of Presidential Power: Unchecked and Unbalanced. Derived from a Kirkus review: The increasing authority of the president and the consequent imbalance of power threaten democracy, say Crenson and Ginsberg. Their book is addressed to readers concerned with the political health of America and remains generally nonpartisan. The authors view the shift in balance as a crime and frame their argument using terms: motive, means, opportunity. Crenson and Ginsberg note numerous historical changes in the US method of selecting presidents. The early ones were Revolutionary heroes; then candidates became party animals; only fairly recently have we seen ambitious candidates use the mass media and the primary system. The authors describe an ever-expanding executive branch and the weapons at a president's disposal: vetoes, executive orders, signing statements, regulations. Near the end, they offer analyses of the decline of congressional power and the recent tendency of federal courts to support the executive branch. First Edition [Stated], First Printing [Stated].
