Recenzje

"Parshall and Twombly have provided us with a clear-eyed, careful analysis of what Donald Trump's campaign promise to 'drain the swamp' has looked like in practice: an effort to deconstruct and delegitimize the administrative state. This impressive and thorough treatment of how the Trump administration has undercut the bureaucracy via executive powers, appointments, and rhetorical assaults is essential reading for all concerned with government effectiveness and rule of law, and importantly illuminates an often overlooked dimension of an otherwise highly scrutinized presidency."-Dr. Jennifer Hopper, Associate Professor of Political Science, Southern Connecticut State University
