It is often said that voters hold presidents responsible for two
things: the economy and foreign policy. Economic performance is
generally beyond presidential control, but foreign policy is
defined by the president. The White House is justifiably blamed or
credited for how it manages relations with the outside world. How,
then, can presidents maximize their chances to achieve successful
foreign policies? What kinds of considerations should they bear in
mind as they make important decisions for their country? Foreign
policy begins with the process of making decisions. This briefing
book examines foreign policy decision-making, and offers advice to
current and future presidents drawn from fields ranging from
political science and history, to psychology and economics. It
identifies basic guidelines that presidents should consider when
making choices. Such guidelines apply to almost any area of human
endeavour, and they are certainly central to choices made in and
outside of the Oval Office. When the strong make mistakes, the weak
often suffer. As the strongest country in the history of the world,
the United States has a special responsibility to run a sagacious
foreign policy. This briefing book will benefit students, policy
makers, and the general public.
