Public Administration Review, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT President Trump altered the U.S. federal civil service system by reducing merit‐based protections for bureaucratic expertise and expanding the scope of political appointments, shifting the balance long established under the Pendleton Act of 1883.

Free Expression and Coerced Choice: The Role of the Army and Lord Protector in Miltonic Freedom

Renaissance Studies, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Scholarly approaches to understanding freedom in Milton's prose tend to connect Milton's ideas to either liberalism or republicanism.
