Presidents and their advisors consistently seek to improve the
management of their foreign policy decision processes. This book
analyzes the successes and failures of administrations from Kennedy
to Nixon as they sought to strike a balance between the personal
style of the president and the need for a strong interagency
structure that could systematically evaluate policy options. The
narrative focuses on US decision making on China and Taiwan during
the crucial era when the US was considering moving from a policy of
isolating China to a policy of engagement, culminating in Nixon's
historic 1972 trip to China. William Waltman Newmann has created an
Evolution-Balancing model, tested with case studies focusing on
China policy by Kennedy, Johnson, Nixon, and Ford, showing how the
relationships between a president and his advisors change based on
the weaknesses or pathologies of the president's management style.
The author's research is based on declassified archival material
from the Eisenhower, Kennedy, Johnson, Nixon, and Ford presidential
libraries.
