Overview

Observational analysis reveals the formation of coalitions among agencies to activate veto points, indicating challenges in legislative oversight.

Key Points

  • Agencies actively form coalitions to insulate their policies from congressional oversight, enhancing policy stability.
  • Data analysis over twenty-four years shows coalitions help activate veto points and exploit legislative gridlock.
  • Collaboration among agencies mitigates collective action problems, enabling bureaucratically led policies to persist.
  • The study emphasizes the theoretical implications of agency collaboration and legislative oversight dynamics.
