Kuypers combines rhetorical theory and framing analysis in an
examination of the interaction of the press and the president
during international crisis situations in the post-Cold War world.
Three crises are examined: Bosnia, Haiti, and the North Korean
nuclear capability issue. Kuypers effectively demonstrates the
changed nature of presidential crisis rhetoric since the end of the
Cold War. Kuypers employs a new historical/critical approach to
analyze both the press and the Clinton administration's handling of
three international crisis situations. Using case studies of
Bosnia, Haiti, and the alleged North Korean nuclear buildup in
1993, he examines contemporary presidential crisis communication
and the agenda-setting and agenda-extension functions of the press.
The importance of this study lies in its timeliness; President
Clinton is the first atomic-age president not to have the Cold War
meta-narrative to use in legitimating international crises. Prior
studies in presidential crisis rhetoric found that the president
received broad and consistent support during times of crisis.
Kuypers found that the press often advanced an oppositional frame
to that used by the Clinton administration. The press frames were
found to limit the options of the President, even when the press
supported a particular presidential strategy. This is a major study
that will be of interest to scholars and researchers of the press,
the modern presidency, and American foreign policy.
