Policy periodicity -- How short-term authorizations work -- Controlling policy change -- Signaling to appropriators -- Oversight and short-term authorizations -- Steering agencies with reauthorizations -- Policy control and short-term authorizations -- The new policy environment -- Conclusion.
Summary: "This book examines how short-term authorizations create periods of policy stability, when implementation can occur, by allowing policies to be reconsidered only when an authorization expires. This simple procedural mechanism allows Congress to state when certain aspects of a law - such as authorizations of appropriations - will expire. By doing this, Congress creates a schedule for when a given policy will be considered and systematically steers the management of public programs by changing the resources and tools available to policy implementers."--BOOK JACKET.
