Zachary Callen is Associate Professor of Political Science at Allegheny College and author of Railroads and American Political Development: Infrastructure, Federalism, and State Building. Philip Rocco teaches political science at Marquette University. He is coauthor of Obamacare Wars: Federalism, State Politics, and the Affordable Care Act.

"Zachary Callen and Philip Rocco have assembled an impressive collection of articles that represent the important insights into the Trump presidency that APD scholars can provide. The topics and approaches of the contributors to this volume are diverse, but the book's chapters collectively shed fresh light on four classic themes in the APD literature: presidential leadership, the administrative state, policy feedback effects, and the politics of race. Many of the authors draw on seminal works in APD, but they employ these works to show how the Trump presidency complicates or challenges what we thought we knew . . . [F]or anyone interested in placing the Trump presidency in a larger historical context American Political Development and the Trump Presidency is recommended reading." (Congress & The Presidency) "An original and insightful collection, American Political Development and the Trump Presidency develops a deeper understanding of Trump, his campaign, and his governing, and makes the case for American political development as the best approach through which to analyze these unusual times." (Julie Novkov, University at Albany-SUNY)
