Abstract
This article uses a case study of the 2006 Iraq Study Group to illustrate the policy‐making power and limitations of blue‐ribbon commissions. I argue that the distinct political credibility of commissions can enable them to shape public opinion and drive policy change, but that commissions usually cannot bridge partisan divides on highly salient issues marked by intense polarization. The case study reveals that the Iraq Study Group influenced public views of George W. Bush's Iraq policy, placed significant pressure on Bush to change his Iraq strategy, and shaped the Iraq plan of Barack Obama—even though the commission was unable to forge agreement between Bush and Democratic congressional leaders.
