It highlights the role of entrepreneurial bureaucrats in building new programs, generating support for them, and constructing new networks of intergovernmental relations.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":578,"template":"","class_list":{"0":"post-577","1":"speaker","2":"type-speaker","3":"status-publish","4":"has-post-thumbnail","6":"entry"},"acf":{"speaker_title":"Associate Professor of Political Science at the University of Texas at Arlington","speaker_last_name":"Sledge","speaker_classification":["Featured Guests"]},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/podcasts.la.utexas.edu\/thepolicyagenda\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/speaker\/577","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/podcasts.la.utexas.edu\/thepolicyagenda\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/speaker"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/podcasts.la.utexas.edu\/thepolicyagenda\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/speaker"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/podcasts.la.utexas.edu\/thepolicyagenda\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/speaker\/577\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":665,"href":"https:\/\/podcasts.la.utexas.edu\/thepolicyagenda\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/speaker\/577\/revisions\/665"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/podcasts.la.utexas.edu\/thepolicyagenda\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/578"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/podcasts.la.utexas.edu\/thepolicyagenda\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=577"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
