Passages to the Presidency from Campaigning to Governing
- Binding: Paperback

Description:
This book considers the critical ten weeks of transition for the most recent party changes in the White House (Nixon, Carter, Reagan, Clinton) and signals a pivotal change for the future. Charles Jones identifies the conventional expectations for an effective transition in regard to such topics as dismantling the campaign, connecting with Congress, establishing a theme, and relating to the press.
Expand description
The standard view is based on a distinction between campaigning and governing, with election day as the marker. Yet changes are blurring this distinction. The Clinton transition in 1992 is the watershed case. Dubbed the "worst" for failing to meet many of the standard tests, Clinton and his aides, nevertheless, were attuned to a campaigning style of governing that was fine-tuned after the 1994 mid-term election.
Future transitions will be judged by revised expectations. Presidents will prepare to govern more publicly from the start, anxious to enhance their status in a more communal style of governing.
