Abstract
This thesis aims to disentangle the phenomenon of lame duck success. The original lame duck model,
falls short in explaining why such empirical policy successes occur. Given the overtly structural nature
of the original theory, despite the importance of agency in the literature, this thesis aims to disentangle
the complexity of lame duck success by equally exploring agency as well as structure variables and
their relation to domestic as well as foreign policy outcomes. Adding agency variables might thereby
explain how lame duck success is possible and why the original structuralist model was not able to
explain it. This would not only increase our knowledge of the lame duck president and the potential
they hold for policy successes, it would also give insight in the role of agency level analysis to the
study of politics in general.
