Description
Review Quotes
?The American Governorship is a significant contribution to the literature concerning the state executive function. ... It offers a survey of the roles defining the current nature of gubernatorial politics. The reflective assessments of trends in the governing of states by a leading scholar makes this book a valuable addition to the literature of state politics in general.?-Social Science Quarterly
?This book is a sequel to Ransone's well-known earlier work, The Office of Governor in the United States (1956), in which he stated that governors had three principal functions: public relations, policy formation, and management. In this new work, he analyzes these functions again and compares their significance now to their importance in the fifties.. ..Highly recommended for academic libraries.?-Library Journal
