Description:In the polarized governing environment of American politics today, the problem of leadership becomes ever more pressing and ever more vexed.

Combining historical, theoretical, and empirical approaches, their essays evaluate the constraints, opportunities, and influence of leadership in each area, as well as the challenges of bridging different realms.
