Roosevelt. During FDR's administration, power shifted from states and localities to the federal government; within the federal government, it shifted from Congress to the president; and internationally, it moved from Europe to the United States. All of these changes required significant effort on the part of the president, who triumphed over fierce opposition and succeeded in remaking the American political system in ways that continue to shape our politics. Using the metaphor of the good neighbor, the author examines the persuasive work that took place to authorize these changes. -- Publisher's website Bibliography Includes bibliographical references (pages 213-293) and index Notes English Print version record Subject Roosevelt, Franklin D.
