Christianity and American democracy by
Hugh Heclo(
)
18 editions published between 2007 and 2009 in English and held by 2,138 WorldCat member libraries worldwide
Christianity, not religion in general, has been important for American democracy. With this bold thesis, Hugh Heclo offers a panoramic view of how Christianity and democracy have shaped each other. Heclo shows that amid deeply felt religious differences, a Protestant colonial society gradually convinced itself of the truly Christian reasons for, as well as the enlightened political advantages of, religious liberty. By the mid-twentieth century, American democracy and Christianity appeared locked in a mutual embrace. But it was a problematic union vulnerable to fundamental challenge in the Sixties. Despite the subsequent rise of the religious right and glib talk of a conservative Republican theocracy, Heclo sees a longer-term, reciprocal estrangement between Christianity and American democracy. Responding to his challenging argument, Mary Jo Bane, Michael Kazin, and Alan Wolfe criticize, qualify, and amend it. Heclo's rejoinder suggests why both secularists and Christians should worry about a coming rupture between the Christian and democratic faiths. The result is a lively debate about a momentous tension in American public life

The Illusion of presidential government by
Hugh Heclo(
Book
)
16 editions published between 1981 and 2019 in English and held by 707 WorldCat member libraries worldwide
"Presidential government is an illusion. It is an image that misleads presidents no less than the media and the American public." Thus begins this realistic look at the presidency, in which nine leading presidential scholars examine how and why we are under the illusion of presidential government and ask such questions as: What is the president's actual role? What has happened to his traditional tools of executive leadership? How is the office of the president organized to deal with domestic, economic, and national security affairs? is federal regulation an area of potential power for the president? And, if "presidential government" is indeed a myth, what can be done to help the presidency play a more effective part in constitutional government? Each chapter probes a different facet of the image of presidential government by looking at the major operations of the modern presidency-from struggles with Congress for control of administrative detail to problems of managing the economy and national security. The book closes with the final report of the National Academy of Public Administration's Panel on Presidential Management. Not surprisingly, the authors do not always agree; nevertheless, they are united in the view that the managerial role of the president must be seen as a whole-and without illusions

On thinking institutionally by
Hugh Heclo(
Book
)
14 editions published between 2008 and 2013 in English and Spanish and held by 299 WorldCat member libraries worldwide
"The twenty-first-century mind deeply distrusts the authority of institutions. It has taken several centuries for advocates of “critical” thinking to convince Western culture that to be rational, liberated, authentic, and modern means to be anti-institutional. In this mold-breaking book, Hugh Heclo moves beyond the abstract academic realm of thinking “about” institutions to the more personal significance and larger social meaning of what it is to “think institutionally.” His account ranges from “respect for the game” of baseball to Greek philosophy, from twenty-first-century corporate and political scandals to Christian theology and the concept of “office” and “professionalism.” Think what you will about one institution or another, but after Heclo, no reader will be left in doubt about why it matters to think and act institutionally."--Publisher
