Are you an academic leader or considering taking on a leadership
position in the academy? Then this book is for you, even in an era
of crisis in the highly-complex higher education sector. A
one-size-fits-all leadership philosophy can meet all the challenges
and opportunities facing academic leaders. Rather, successful
leaders require a range of approaches and an ample supply of tools
to maximize their effectiveness. This volume takes you through a
series of balancing acts, each of which helps you to tailor your
leadership choices to the issue at hand. It helps leaders to
identify your current strengths and comfort zone in a series of
dimensions and then encourages you to move beyond those comfort
zones and to develop an ever-expanding array of leadership tools
and skills. The result will be greater effectiveness in your
decision-making, relationships, and management.

This comprehensive text analyzes the foreign policies of eighteen
countries in Latin America and the Caribbean. First assessing the
state of the discipline, the introduction develops a common
framework that compares the relevant explanatory weight of foreign
policy determinants at the individual, state, and international
level for each country. Case studies include the major regional
powers such as Mexico, Brazil, and Argentina, as well as
less-studied players such as the Dominican Republic, Ecuador, and
Uruguay. With its focused analytical questions and rich empirical
description, this book allows readers to develop sustained
comparisons across the full spectrum of Latin American foreign
policy. Visit our website for sample chapters
How do economic weakness and dependence influence foreign policy
decisions and behavior in third world countries? Theories in
Dependent Foreign Policy examines six foreign policy theories:
compliance, consensus, counterdependence, realism, leader
preferences and domestic politics, and each is applied to a series
of case studies of Ecuador's foreign policy during the 1980s under
two regimes: Osvaldo Hurtado (1981-1984) and his successor Leon
Febres Cordero (1984-1988). Hey shows that Ecuador during this
period represented the third world in many ways. It was a new
democracy, having just emerged from years of military rule,
extremely indebted to the West, and dependent on primary product
export economy that relied heavily on importers, especially the
United States. Jeanne Hey finds that some of the most popular and
enduring theories in western research, such as realism and
compliance, poorly account for Ecuadorian foreign policy. She
explains that poor countries like Ecuador have substantial foreign
policy latitude in the diplomatic area. Drawing on archival
research and interviews with policy makers including Presidents
Hurtado and Febres Cordero, Dr. Hey convincingly argues that many
of the traditional foreign policy theories do not "fit" dependent
states, and inadequately account for the complexity of foreign
policy in the third world.
