U.S. Foreign Policy: Back to the Water's Edge is based on the old
idea that despite domestic differences and party politics,
Americans should unite "at the water's edge" and present a cohesive
front to a hostile world. The fifth edition explores this theme
through coverage of the Trump administration, its early policies,
and how Trump's initiatives fit into the broader historical
patterns of foreign policy in the United States. More compact than
most of its competitors, the fifth edition packs necessary
information and concepts into a lean but readable format. It
contains rich historical content, providing the reader with
snapshots of some of the truly classic highlights-and lowlights-of
America's record in foreign affairs. Written with the student
reader in mind, each chapter offers several pedagogical aids
designed to reinforce and extend comprehension of the material.
This text is also accompanied by a companion reader. Regional Cases
in Foreign Policy, Second Edition, was written by Don Snow with the
specific intention of providing material and perspectives not
contained in the text. The reader contains fourteen mini-cases that
can accompany classroom discussions or lectures on subjects as
diverse as relations with Russia, Israel, or the Islamic State;
specific questions like the border fence with Mexico; U.S.-Cuban
relations; or the British withdrawal from the European Union
(Brexit). Case examples are drawn from all parts of the world.
During his first term in office, Pres. George W. Bush made
reference to the "unitary executive" ninety-five times, as part of
signing statements, proclamations, and executive orders. Pres.
Barack Obama's actions continue to make issues of executive power
as timely as ever.
Unitary executive theory stems from interpretation of the
constitutional assertion that the president is vested with the
"executive power" of the United States. In this groundbreaking
collection of studies, eleven presidential scholars examine for the
first time the origins, development, use, and future of this
theory.
"
The Unitary Executive and the Modern Presidency" examines how the
unitary executive theory became a recognized constitutional theory
of presidential authority, how it has evolved, how it has been
employed by presidents of both parties, and how its use has
affected and been affected by U.S. politics. This book also
examines the constitutional, political, and even psychological
impact of the last thirty years of turmoil in the executive branch
and the ways that controversy has altered both the exercise and the
public's view of presidential power.
