This book examines the role of the president in the defense policy
process, focusing specifically, but not exclusively, on the
administration of President Carter. Contributors discuss such
current concerns as the NATO-Warsaw confrontation and attitudes of
European allies, U.S.-China-Japan defense relationships, and the
issues of military intervention. In examining the broader aspects
of defense policy, they focus on the style of leadership and world
view of the president and his immediate national security staff and
on the politics of the defense budget. A constant theme is the
comparison of past defense policies with those of the present
administration. The authors offer insights on important aspects of
the Carter defense policy, provide an assessment of the impact of
the president's policies on future U.S. defense posture, and
present a conceptual framework for examining both the president's
role in defense policymaking and the general concept of national
security.
