Abstract As a focus of scholarship, the subject of legislative-executive relations is both elusively broad and remarkably diverse. This essay attempts to make both the breadth and diversity of the field more comprehensible by examining and identifying: (1) attributes and characteristics of key legislative and executive "players," (2) various points of intersection between legislative and executive "players" and their institutions, and, especially, (3) forms, conditions, and impacts of legislative supervision of the executive (oversight). Analysis of the research and scholarly literature on these topics is situated in a context of different normative perspectives toward governance. Journal Information The Legislative Studies Quarterly is an international journal devoted to the publication of research on representative assemblies. Its purpose is to disseminate scholarly work on parliaments and legislatures, their relations to other political institutions, their functions in the political system, and the activities of their members both within the institution and outside. Contributions are invited from scholars in all countries. The pages of the Quarterly are open to all research approaches consistent with the normal canons of scholarship, and to work on representative assemblies in all settings and all time periods. The aim of the journal is to contribute to the formulation and verification of general theories about legislative systems, processes, and behavior. The editors encourage contributors to emphasize the cross-national implications of their findings, even if these findings are based on research within a single country. The Legislative Studies Quarterly is the official journal of the Legislative Studies Section of the American Political Science Association. Publisher Information Washington University creates an environment to encourage and support an ethos of wide-ranging exploration. Washington University’s faculty and staff strive to enhance the lives and livelihoods of students, the people of the greater St. Louis community, the country and the world. Rights & Usage This
