ISBN: 9780521669603 出版年：1999 页码：337 David Epstein Sharyn O'Halloran Cambridge University Press

In this path-breaking book, David Epstein and Sharyn O'Halloran produce the first unified theory of policy making between the legislative and executive branches. Examining major US policy initiatives from 1947 to 1992, the authors describe the conditions under which the legislature narrowly constrains executive discretion, and when it delegates authority to the bureaucracy.
