Bush presidency, with editors Maranto (education reform, U. of Arkansas), Landford (political science, U. of Southern Mississippi), and Johnson (a doctoral candidate in political science at Brown U.) proposing that presidencies should be judged according to strategic competence (the long-term influence on the policy regime), political competence (the ability to reshape the political regime), tactical competence (decision-making and the ability to carry out the basic duties of government), and moral competence (ability to avoid scandal and engender trust). They present 15 essays discussing the influence of Bush's psyche on his decision making; the influence of Vice President Cheney; the Bush administration's use of executive powers; the influence of Bush on the political institutions of the Republican Party, the Congress, the federal bureaucracy, and the judiciary; the Bush legacy in the policy realms of education, economics, and "homeland security;" the Bush doctrine and foreign policy; and Bush in comparison to Ronald Reagan and Bill Clinton.
