Us Leadership In Political Time And Space: Pathfinders, Patriots, And Existential Heroes

While change is the only constant in politics and society, the US political system's ability to evolve accordingly has waned over time as increasingly complex decision making systems and institutions complicate political processes. This volume examines the many facets of American thinkers?rom Thomas Paine to Rosa Parks?hose innovations have contributed to the American consciousness. Johansson offers an innovative theoretical prism through which to study the role of leadership in the US political system, asking scholars to consider the fate of presidents and other leaders in light of Washington DC's sclerotic political environment.
