Presidential power

Book • 1991
In this book, Neustadt examines the nature of presidential power, arguing that it is primarily the power to persuade rather than to command.

He emphasizes that effective presidential influence stems from bargaining advantages, public prestige, and the expectations of other government officials.

The book analyzes the decision-making processes and the strategic use of influence by modern presidents, highlighting the complexities of shared powers in the American system and the need for continuous persuasion and bargaining to achieve policy goals.
