Abstract: | "Budgeting, management and policy making: a comparative perspective" - budgeting is perhaps the most important governing process in the United States and other advanced nations. Budgets contain literally thousands of decisions, from the great to the miniscule and from the very general to the very specific. compare wide- ranging decisions, such as how much to spend on defense, with such minor decisions as how many stenographers an agency may hire. Budgeting became an even more prominent feature of American politics during the last two decades of 20th century. Budged deficits exploded during the Reagan administration in the 1980s, leading to frequent and highly publicized partisan conflict between Congress and the President. These continued through the end of the Clinton administration, even after the Federal budget was in surplus. Over this twenty year period, budgeting played a critical role in both institutional change, such as medicare and tax reform. This article looks at the budget process and budgetary politics in the United States. |
