Center for Congressional and Presidential Studies 2022听Annual Report (Condensed)

Center for Congressional and Presidential Studies 2022 Annual Report (Condensed)听In 2022, CCPS continued pursuing our mission of strengthening the democratic square through research, training institutes, and public events. Below, we describe our specific program activities.

I. Institutes

• Campaign Management Institute- Led by Candice J. Nelson, the Campaign Management Institute (CMI) continued its longstanding commitment to train individuals for participation in local, state and federal political campaigns. Its two sessions, one in January and one in May, trained 26 students and working professionals in campaign techniques, strategy, and tactics with emphasis on recent technological developments. 听
• The Public Affairs and Advocacy Institute- Led by Patrick Griffin and Laura Uttley, the Public Affairs and Advocacy Institute (PAAI) continued its advanced workshops in December and May, focusing on major aspects of professional lobbying and political influence. Featuring dozens of prominent professional lobbyists representing corporations, trade and professional associations, public interest听groups, and labor unions, the PAAI trained forty students and working professionals to better represent organized interests to the federal government. In 2022, Laura Uttley took on the role of Co-Director of the Institute. Uttley leverages over 10 years鈥� experience in federal policy and government relations. Laura is also the Director of Government Relations for the Woodwell Climate Research Center, where she develops federal advocacy strategies and facilitates outreach to congressional and federal policymakers in Washington, DC, positioning Woodwell Climate鈥檚 leading research to influence policy development and implementation.
• European Public Affairs and Advocacy Institute- The European Public Affairs and Advocacy Institute (EPAAI), directed by Professor Korneliya Bachiyska, is a joint venture of the Center for Congressional and Presidential Studies and the 国产小呦女 Brussels Center. This unique institute introduces students to the art and craft of lobbying in the European Union. During a week in Brussels, Belgium, students are immersed in the strategies, tactics, methods, techniques, regulations and ethics of lobbying in Europe. Drawing on their rich body of experiences, prominent lobbyists involved in all aspects of their profession offer lectures on such topics as EU legal systems, rulemaking, EU relations with national capitals, EU-US relations and comparisons between US and European policymaking. EPAAI also includes a thorough introduction to the EU institutions. After a pandemic related hiatus, the EPAAI returned in 2022, training seven students.
• Legislative Negotiation Institute- The听Legislative Negotiation Institute听(LNI) is a joint program with AU鈥檚 Washington College of Law, in collaboration with Harvard University鈥檚 Kennedy School of Government. It is a component of the Program on Legislative Negotiation, which trains policymakers on Capitol Hill and in state legislatures to negotiate more effectively. 听Directed by longtime US Senate staffer and current Professor of Law Bettina Poirier with extensive participation from other experienced Hill negotiators, the LNI provides MA students, Law students, and working policy professionals with even greater hands-on instruction on how to maximize bargaining prowess than is afforded by the PLN trainings on Capitol Hill.

II. Externally Funded Research and Training Programs

• Program on Legislative Negotiation: With support from the Madison Initiative of the William and Flora Hewlett Foundation, the Program on Legislative Negotiation (PLN) addresses legislative gridlock so that our representatives can better respond to today鈥檚 challenges The PLN is a joint endeavor of 国产小呦女鈥檚 (AU) Washington College of Law (AUWCL) and the Center for Congressional and Presidential Studies at the 国产小呦女School of Public Affairs (SPA).

The PLN鈥檚 four primary objectives are to provide negotiation training for legislative members and their staffs, train students and professionals through experiential learning programs, facilitate and apply research on effective legislative negotiation, and build a community of scholars, journalists, policymakers, and others who share these goals.In 2022, the PLN鈥檚 initial seven research grantees completed their work, which has been featured in several publications. On October 7, 2022, CCPS hosted the 2^nd听Understanding Legislative Negotiation Conference (ULNC), which highlighted the research of the seven 2020 ULN awardees.

• New Perspectives in Studies of American Governance: With support from the William and Flora Hewlett Foundation and in partnership with Purdue University, the New Perspectives in Studies of American Governance program seeks to expand the notoriously restricted range of theoretical, methodological, and demographic perspectives represented in scholarship pertaining to the US executive and legislative branches. The NP incentivizes emerging scholars to broaden the range of perspectives and experiences upon which they draw when pursuing insight into American governance at the federal level.听听

Specifically, CCPS disbursed funds to seven new projects (11 total recipients) that are seeking to transform political scientists鈥� collective understanding of American governance and representation. We also co-edited a .

• The Correspondence of Zachary Taylor & Millard Fillmore Project: The Center for Congressional and Presidential Studies, in 2020, launched the Correspondence of Zachary Taylor and Millard Fillmore. This project aims to locate and publish letters of the two men from 1844 to 1853, before and during their presidencies. It is led by two CCPS fellows: Editor and Research Professor of Government Michael David Cohen and Associate Editor Amy Larrabee Cotz. The edition they produce enable scholars, teachers, students, and the public to learn about American life and the presidency before the Civil War from the words of these leaders and their diverse correspondents.

In 2022, the Correspondence of Zachary Taylor & Millard Fillmore Project received a $77,750 grant from the National Historical Publications and Research Commission. This grant supports work including the publishing of five articles on the听, which was featured in FeedSpot鈥檚 list of the听 and the hiring of SPA graduate students Nicholas Breslin and Mercedes Atwater as editorial assistants.

Additionally, in 2022, the Correspondence of Zachary Taylor & Millard Fillmore Project published a , featuring previously unpublished Fillmore letters, on the US annexation of Texas and contributed research to Jeopardy! for a clue in the category听听airing Mar. 14, 2022 (the experience was profiled in听础尘别谤颈肠补苍听惭补驳补锄颈苍别).

滨滨滨.听Congress and the Presidency Journal. In the past year, the Congress & the Presidency Journal, marked a significant milestone by publishing its 50th volume by staff including Book Editor Jeffrey Crouch, Reviews & Book Editor Adam L. Warber, and Managing Editor Ryan DeTamble. The first issue offered a broad spectrum of content, covering topics ranging from federal drone strike oversight to the implications of Fenno's paradox. The second issue was a Special Issue that prioritized underrepresented aspects of diversity in the scholarship on U.S legislative and executive branches. The Congress & the Presidency Journal is also excited to announce that this year, they have created the James A. Thurber Article of the Year Award. The committee will select the best article from the 49th volume on the bases of originality, rigor, clarity, relevance, and argumentation, and the announcement will be made early in the Fall semester. Additionally, they are delighted to welcome a selective group of new members to our respected editorial board, whose names will be disclosed in the coming weeks. We remain committed to our mission of providing top-tier scholarly work on the U.S. government's first and second branches. The contributors, hailing from political science and history, continue to maintain our journal's reputation for high-quality academic content.
