Cornelius Michael Buckley, S.J. delves into Stephen Larigaudelle Dubuisson’s life, using him as the point of departure to describe the tensions among Jesuits in Maryland after the restoration of the order in 1814. A refugee of the violent slave rebellions in Haiti, where he was born, and the Terror in France, Dubuisson became a clerk in Napoleon’s personal treasury and a resident in the Tuileries. He was a member of Marie Louise’s flight in 1814 and later differed with Napoleon’s account of the fate of the lost treasury during this momentous event. The following year, giving up a promising career in the Restoration government, he entered the slave-owning Jesuits in Maryland. Ten years later, he was the priest involved in the Mattingly Miracle. After a brief tenure as Georgetown’s fourteenth president, Dubuisson spent three years in Europe advising the Jesuit general how to keep his American troops in step along the Ignatian “long black line.” During this time, he began his career as a fundraiser and propagandist for the American Church and as an unofficial, and sometimes vexing, diplomat of the general in the courts of Europe. After his return, Dubuisson served as a parish priest in Virginia, Maryland, and Pennsylvania. Elected a second time to represent the Maryland Jesuits at a meeting in Rome, he never returned to the United States and eventually became chaplain to the dashing Duke and Duchess de Montmorency Laval. Recognized as “the chief pillar of the Jesuit mission in the United States,” he died in Pau, France, during the height of the American Civil War.
Rulemaking refines, and in some instances defines, the mission of every government agency and affects the lives and activities of all citizens and often non-citizens. It provides directions and content for budgeting, program implementation, procurement, personnel management, dispute resolution, and other important government activities. In this substantially updated sixth edition, authors Kerwin and Furlong continue to offer the most comprehensive and accessible exploration of the most critical source of law and policy in the United States today. As they demonstrate, anyone interested in developing a sophisticated understanding of the operation of our political system or any aspect of the public policy process must develop a working knowledge of rulemaking. New to the sixth edition:New examples and case studies incorporated throughout the text, including a thorough examination of West Virginia v. EPA to introduce the concept of rulemakingNew material that updates coverage of the Trump I and Biden presidencies, as well as the landmark Supreme Court decision in Loper Industries v. Raimondo that repudiates the Chevron Doctrine and calls for greater direction from Congress in delegations of rulemaking authorityA significantly reformulated chapter on Measures of Rulemaking Success from a policy analysis perspective with discussion on efficiency, effectiveness, equity, and more. It also addresses expectations that various stakeholders have for rulemaking, including quality, volume, timeliness, effectiveness, efficiency, and equityAdditional analysis of the use of alternatives to conventional rulemaking, including executive orders and related presidential communications and guidance documents of various sorts exploring the positive and negative effects of executive orders and presidential memoranda, guidance documents, technical corrections, and so-called “Dear Colleague” lettersAn entirely new chapter, Information, that focuses on the different forms of information agencies need to write rules. The categories include information on the law, policy, implementation, impact, public participation, and management. In addition to defining and distinguishing these types, the authors cover the sources agencies rely on to secure each type of informationA significantly reformulated concluding chapter that continues to develop a theory of rulemaking and considers the influences on rulemaking and serious attempts at rulemaking reform from scholars, organizations, and institutions whose mission is the advancement of better governmentThe breadth of the authors’ approach makes Rulemaking an essential primary text for advanced undergraduate and graduate courses on public policy, public administration, and political science. It also serves as an important supplementary text for related courses in schools of law and business.
