To what extent do presidents select appointees based upon campaign experience and connections? The answer to this question has important implications for our understanding of presidential management and political leadership. This article presents a theory explaining where presidents place different types of appointees and why, focusing on differences in ideology, competence, and non‐policy patronage benefits among potential appointees. We develop a formal model and test its implications with new data on 1,307 persons appointed in the first six months of the Obama administration. The empirical results broadly support the theory, suggesting that President Obama was more likely to place appointees selected for non‐policy patronage reasons in agencies off his agenda, in agencies that shared his policy views, and where appointees are least able to affect agency performance. We conclude that patronage continues to play an important role in American politics, with important consequences for campaigns, presidential politics, and governance.

Contributors from nine different regions & nations evaluate the presidency of George W. Bush. The picture that emerges is more ambivalent than the common characteristic of Bush as an unsophisticated cowboy. East Europeans have more sympathy for Bush's "axis of evil" declaration than do their Western counterparts. South Asians & Arabs dislike Bush's unilateralist tendencies but admit a grudging esteem for his capacity to promote American interests. In Latin America & the People's Republic of China, Bush's free trade policies have stirred hopes for improved living standards, but his position on immigration has bred resentment. Africa & Southeast Asia view Bush as an unreconstructed Cold Warrior, while Russia regards him as a partner by necessity. 1 sidebar. K. Coddon
