This book examines the development of regulatory policy since the 1960s, focusing on how each president, from Nixon to Biden, stimulated reform. The scope of the book includes the newer social policies of civil rights, safety, and environmental protection as well as economic, financial, and antitrust policies. Looking to the future, John D. Graham offers a promising regulatory-reform agenda for Congress, the executive branch, and the judiciary.

Graham explores the public demands that gave rise to the modern administrative state as well as the crosscurrents that led to better regulation, deregulation, and improved rulemaking processes. He investigates the different meanings of 'regulatory reform' among progressives and conservatives and how progress in science and analytic tools have influenced regulatory reforms. Tracing the impact of presidential initiatives on Congressional and agency decisions, he makes a compelling case that the president has emerged as the dominant actor on regulatory-reform issues. He also shows the complex interplay between the president and the courts, with judicial review acting as both a check on - and enhancer of - presidential power.

This book is essential reading for students and scholars of regulation and governance, public administration and policy, and public management. It will also be of special interest to students of administrative law, benefit-cost analysis, and presidential studies.

Industry Reviews

'John Graham has produced a comprehensive and nuanced account of presidential policymaking over the last 50 years. This rich historical narrative-highlighting the complex interrelationships between presidential priorities, agency authorities, congressional actions, and judicial oversight-is timely and important, especially given the Supreme Court's willingness to disrupt longstanding assumptions about the nature of these interrelationships. Highly recommended!' -- Caroline Cecot, George Mason University, US
'Students of government and regulation need to read this masterful history of reform efforts across 10 presidencies. John Graham reassesses the promise and pitfalls of policy initiatives, and he reminds us that throughout this bipartisan legacy, we can still be surprised and enlightened by which presidents of which parties took which key steps.' -- Jonathan B. Wiener, Duke University, US
'John D. Graham's newest book combines scholarship, practice knowledge, and clarification of the complex to provide astounding insights regarding presidential interaction with (de)regulation from Nixon to now. He starts by confronting hefty debates around the administrative state, reviews 54 years of presidential (de)regulation, and ends by providing a policy agenda for improving regulatory processes. Added interest is provided by the through line discussing BCA and OIRA.' -- Heather E. Campbell, Claremont Graduate University, US
