Lewis, David E
2008. 312 pp, 01/2008Book Chapter
In the wake of Hurricane Katrina, many questioned whether the large number of political appointees in the Federal Emergency Management Agency contributed to the agency's poor handling of the catastrophe, ultimately costing hundreds of lives & causing immeasurable pain & suffering. The Politics of Presidential Appointments examines in depth how & why presidents use political appointees & how their choices impact government performance -- for better or worse. One way presidents can influence the permanent bureaucracy is by filling key posts with people who are sympathetic to their policy goals. But if the president's appointees lack competence & an agency fails in its mission -- as with Katrina -- the president is accused of employing his friends & allies to the detriment of the public. Through case studies & cutting-edge analysis, David Lewis takes a fascinating look at presidential appointments dating back to the 1960s to learn which jobs went to appointees, which agencies were more likely to have appointees, how the use of appointees varied by administration, & how it affected agency performance. He argues that presidents politicize even when it hurts performance -- and often with support from Congress -- because they need agencies to be responsive to presidential direction. He shows how agency missions & personnel -- and whether they line up with the president's vision -- determine which agencies presidents target with appointees, & he sheds new light on the important role patronage plays in appointment decisions.
