• W2060170011 abstract "Two recent books suggest limitations on presidential initiative in domestic policy by pointing to the friction that such efforts encounter. One is the revised edition of Stephen Skowronek's The Politics Presidents Make.1 In the first edition, Skowronek plotted cycles of political time—periods in which political order was reconstructed, then the reconstruction received its fullest articulation, and then a disjunction devel- oped between this order and the exigencies of the situation, leading finally to another reconstruction. Four such cycles were plotted. In the first, Jefferson represented reconstruction, Monroe articulated Jeffersonian principles, and John Quincy Adams witnessed their disjunction from political realities. In the second cycle, Jackson, Polk, and Pierce represented the respective positions. The third cycle was described by ref- erence to Lincoln, Theodore Roosevelt, and Hoover. Finally, Franklin Roosevelt, Lyndon Johnson, and Carter represent reconstruction, articulation, and disjunction in the most recent cycle. Skowronek plots these cycles against the linear development of secular time, which is characterized by increasing friction in the system, making the work of political reconstruction more difficult. In the revised edition, Skowronek adds a chapter on the Reagan, Bush, and Clinton presidencies. There he hypothesizes that the growing friction of secular time has led to a waning of political time. Rather than fully developed cycles, Skowronek predicts that we will witness a state of continual opposition, in which each presi- dency will define itself by opposition to its predecessor. If this is so, the collapsing of political time substantially weakens the president's ability to develop an innovative domestic program or to trace its articulation through subsequent presidencies. This statement is true whether one envisions another New Deal articulated into a Great Society or a Reagan revolution articulated into a new federalism. The other book, by journalist Jonathan Rauch, is called Government's End.2 Rauch argues that the increasing pressures and demands the public places on gov- ernment have paralyzed it and reduced its ability to function—a condition he labels demosclerosis. Rauch traces this phenomenon over the past 40 years and recom- mends measures that might arrest the trend, but he finds that the antidotes are weak and unlikely to reverse the trend. He concludes therefore that we should adjust our- selves to expecting less from government. He urges that political moderates become David Zarefsky is professor of communication studies and former dean of the School of Speech at Northwestern University in Evanston, Illinois." @default.
