What is presidential leadership and why have some presidents been
considered "great" - or rather "transformational" - while others
are not? What are the drivers which distinguish these presidents
from the rest? Presidential Leadership in the Americas since
Independence answers these questions through a systematic study of
leadership across the Americas over 200 years, from independence to
the present day. Having surveyed who the most cited presidents are
in the Americas, Guy Burton and Ted Goertzel examine the experience
of presidents from across the western hemisphere: the US,
Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Mexico, Peru and Venezuela.
They study the relationship between these men and women's actions
within the constraints they faced during four political periods:
independence, national consolidation during the nineteenth century,
state-building from the late nineteenth to mid twentieth centuries
and neoliberalism since the 1970s-80s. The most "transformational"
presidents are found to be those who are not only able to innovate
and build new political consensuses at a time of crisis, but also
consolidate them so that the reforms becoming lasting - and
extending beyond an individual president's own political (even
biological) lifetime.
