Abstract

En mars 1930, les studios hollywoodiens se dotent d'un nouveau Code de production qui établit les règles consenties par l'industrie hollywoodienne pour désamorcer l'activité des innombrables organes de censure qui entravaient l'exploitation des films aux États-Unis. Sur la base d'archives inédites, le premier des deux essais composant ce livre relate la genèse de ce texte. On voit s'y confronter des points de vue opposés sous l'arbitrage de Will H. Hays, président de la MPPDA (l'association professionnelle des studios), jusqu'à la signature par les producteurs réunis d'un accord qui, contrairement à ce qu'on a pu dire, a efficacement gouverné le cinéma hollywoodien entre 1930 et 1934. Le second essai entreprend de corriger l'image presque universellement négative du " patron " de l'autocensure. Non seulement Hays fut un immense diplomate, mais il a contribué de façon peut-être décisive à l'avènement de " l'âge d'or " hollywoodien.

Abstract

Until now political scientists have devoted little attention to the origins of American bureaucracy and the relationship between bureaucratic and interest group politics. In this pioneering book, Daniel Carpenter contributes to our understanding of institutions by presenting a unified study of bureaucratic autonomy in democratic regimes. He focuses on the emergence of bureaucratic policy innovation in the United States during the Progressive Era, asking why the Post Office Department and the Department of Agriculture became politically independent authors of new policy and why the Interior Department did not. To explain these developments, Carpenter offers a new theory of bureaucratic autonomy grounded in organization theory, rational choice models, and network concepts. According to the author, bureaucracies with unique goals achieve autonomy when their middle-level officials establish reputations among diverse coalitions for effectively providing unique services. These coalitions enable agencies to resist political control and make it costly for politicians to ignore the agencies' ideas. Carpenter assesses his argument through a highly innovative combination of historical narratives, statistical analyses, counterfactuals, and carefully structured policy comparisons. Along the way, he reinterprets the rise of national food and drug regulation, Comstockery and the Progressive anti-vice movement, the emergence of American conservation policy, the ascent of the farm lobby, the creation of postal savings banks and free rural mail delivery, and even the congressional Cannon Revolt of 1910.
