This book offers contemporary research and study by presidential scholars published in journals dedicated to the study of the presidency. The essays should spark critical thinking and debate on both the topics at hand and other, larger issues relating to the presidency. The articles also reflect a variety of approaches to the study of the presidency and are a reflective sample of current scholarship. An introductory essay discusses presidential studies and the types of questions presidential scholars ask and attempt to answer. Each section is broad-based and contains readings applicable to other issues in the field.
