Full Spectrum Diplomacy and Grand Strategy: Reforming the Structure
and Culture of U.S. Foreign Policy, by John Lenczowski, offers a
solution to one of the greatest weaknesses in U.S. foreign policy
that has exacerbated the unprecedented anti-Americanism of recent
years the U.S. Government's inability to conduct the 'full
spectrum' of diplomatic arts and to integrate them with the other
arts of statecraft at the level of grand strategy. The analysis
presents a critique of how the Department of State's focus on
traditional, government-to-government diplomacy comes at the
expense of public diplomacy. 'Public Diplomacy' is defined in the
broadest sense as including all those arts that involve relations
with, and influence over, foreign publics and opinion leaders,
including: cultural diplomacy, exchanges, information policy,
strategic communications, psychological strategy, political action,
political warfare, and wars of ideas. Author John Lenczowski, one
of the first modern advocates for the strategic integration of all
the instruments of national power, calls for the development of an
'influence culture' in U.S. foreign policy, and provides a road map
for the reform of the structure and culture of American diplomacy.
While addressing contemporary U.S. foreign policy, this study
presents lessons in statecraft and grand strategy that are
applicable for all times and places. Full Spectrum Diplomacy and
Grand Strategy thus raises issues that are relevant not only to
diplomats, but to practitioners of intelligence,
counterintelligence, military strategy, and economic statecraft.
This book demonstrates that under the leadership of President
Ronald Reagan and through the mechanism of his National Security
Council staff, the United States developed and executed a
comprehensive grand strategy, involving the coordinated use of the
diplomatic, informational, military, and economic instruments of
national power, and that grand strategy led to the collapse of the
Soviet Union. In doing so, it refutes three orthodoxies: that
Reagan and his administration deserve little credit for the end of
the Cold War, with most of credit going to Mikhail Gorbachev; that
Reagan's management of the National Security Council staff was
singularly inept; and that the United States is incapable of
generating and implementing a grand strategy that employs all the
instruments of national power and coordinates the work of all
executive agencies. The Reagan years were hardly a time of
interagency concord, but the National Security Council staff
managed the successful implementation of its program nonetheless.
