Recenzii
"As someone who thoroughly enjoys Iowa history, I am pleased to be able to recommend Christopher W. Larimer's Gubernatorial Stability in Iowa: A Stranglehold on Power. The research and analysis presented offers insight and an element of predictability for Iowa elections based on historical trends." - Terry E. Branstad, Governor of Iowa
"While Larimer's book is about recent governors, it's also about what works and what doesn't in political campaigns: Hard work. Bob Ray, Terry Branstad, Tom Vilsack, and Chuck Grassley have one thing in common: they are tireless. Having a good work ethic is clearly an Iowa value, most Iowans do it every day of their lives and they expect to see their leaders do the same. When leaders don't, they get fired. If you want to understand Iowa politics, you need to read this book. If you want to win a statewide election in Iowa, read it twice." - David Yepsen, Director, Paul Simon Public Policy Institute, Southern Illinois University, USA
"In this book, Larimer combines a careful understanding of modern political science and its methods with a keen eye for understanding politics. The result is both an excellent read and a thought-provoking contribution to the political science literature on US governors and on public opinion of executive officials more generally. And along the way, the reader is treated to an excellent primer on Iowa politics a heartland state with an out-sized impact on presidential elections and American culture." - Christopher Z. Mooney, Director, Institute of Government & Public Affairs, University of Illinois, USA
"This slim volume provides a unique window into how voters perceive the governor. Through rigorous analysis and gifted storytelling, Larimer demonstrates why Governors, particularly in a state like Iowa, must maintain a close connection to the voters to be successful. This book should be of interest to scholars, students, and citizens interested in Iowa politics, the office of the governor, and why personal connection still matters in politics" - Chris Cooper, Professor and Department Head, Western Carolina University, USA
