The Post-Cold War Presidency
With the end of the Cold War, U.S. presidential leadership has become both more important and more difficult. Post-war periods have historically posed challenges to leadership, and this time around the long-time image of the Oleader of the free worldO has declined in the face of globalization and increased interdependence among nations. It is exactly this complex environment that makes Americans look ever more to their president for guidance. This accessibly-written volume discusses socio-cultural, political, and economic changes during and after the Cold War period and how these have affected modern presidential leadership. Prominent contributors cover key issues_image and character, domestic and foreign policy, distraction theory, domestic and international economics, executive/legislative relations, security/intelligence, executive dominance, and activist government_and suggest strategies for helping to ensure a strong presidency in the future.

Timely and interesting analysis
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 25 years ago
Given the recent rash of attention devoted to the office of the President and the general poor quality of writing associated with this phenomenon, it is refreshing to finally find a book that is insightful and is carefully researched. Anyone who truly loves reading and studing the executive branch and especially the implications for power in a post-cold war setting will appreciate this book. It is without hesitation that I recommend this book to all those with even a passing interest in the subject.Two thumbs up!!
