Reforms at Risk

Reforms at Risk by Eric M. Patashnik is a compelling exploration of the life cycle of significant policy reforms in the United States. Published by Princeton University Press in 2008, this insightful paperback spans 256 pages and delves into what transpires after sweeping reforms are enacted.

Perfect for policymakers, political scientists, and engaged citizens alike, Reforms at Risk offers a thought-provoking analysis that illuminates the ongoing struggles that define American governance.
