  • The Contemporary Presidency “It Went Off the Rails”: Trump’s Presidential Transition and the National Security System

    Open AccessJoy Patricia Burke, John P BurkeARTICLEPresidential Studies Quarterly2018Cited by: 1References: 1

    Transitions to the presidency matter, especially concerning national security. What transpired for Donald J. Trump pales in comparison to the relatively smooth transition between the George W. Bush and Barack Obama administrations. As one source later noted, the Trump transition “went off the rails” after the election. This was especially so in the case of national security planning, which historically has not been affected as much by problematic…

  • Struggling with Standard Order: Challenges and Performance of the Trump National Security Council System

    Open AccessJoy Patricia Burke, John P BurkeARTICLEPresidential Studies Quarterly2018Cited by: 2References: 1

    This article examines issues that have emerged in the Trump national security system and its process of information analysis and deliberation during its first year and one half in office. It was troubled from the start, and it especially experienced a problematic transition period. It then faced the resignation of its initial National Security Council (NSC) advisor, Lieutenant General Michael Flynn, less than a month after Trump was inaugurated. …

  • The Contemporary Presidency: The Trump Transition, Early Presidency, and National Security Organization

    Open AccessJoy Patricia Burke, John P BurkeARTICLEPresidential Studies Quarterly2017Cited by: 6References: 1

    President Trump's establishment of his national security system proved highly problematic compared to those of his recent predecessors. Problems arose in its initial organization, especially the designation of his chief political strategist as a participant at its highest levels, later rescinded. Further difficulties developed with the resignation of his National Security Council advisor, after only 24 days on the job. The news media quickly poun…

  • The Contemporary Presidency: The Obama Presidential Transition: An Early Assessment

    Open AccessJoy Patricia Burke, John P BurkeARTICLEPresidential Studies Quarterly2009Cited by: 4

    Transitions to the presidency bear wide‐ranging consequences for the successes—and failures—of the administrations that follow. Barack Obama's effort in 2008 and early 2009 is no exception. In many ways, it was a successful transition to office. Despite severe economic constraints, the transition paved the way for an ambitious post‐inaugural agenda and the first steps toward fleshing out Obama's campaign themes of “hope” and “change.” But all was…

  • The Neutral/Honest Broker Role in Foreign‐Policy Decision Making: A Reassessment

    Open AccessJoy Patricia Burke, John P BurkeARTICLEPresidential Studies Quarterly2005Cited by: 5References: 20

    This article examines the impact of the “neutral” or “honest” broker role in presidential decision making, particularly as applied to the job of National Security Council adviser. It provides further evidence of the positive and continuing contribution of the role to effective decision making, which has been expressed both in theory (Alexander George's formulation of the related concept of the “managerial custodian” in the 1970s) and in practice …

    “We need to plan as if things won’t go well.” —George W. Bush, September 25, 2001 ( Woodward 2002 , 136) “I want to know what the options are. A president cannot decide and make rational decisions unless I understand the feasibility of that which may have to happen.” —George W.

  • The Bush Transition in Historical Context

    Open AccessJoy Patricia Burke, John P BurkeARTICLEPS Political Science & Politics2002

    At one level, George W. Bush's transition to the presidency was unique and without much precedent as a guide. Unlike the situation facing his predecessors, Bush's “official” postelection transition did not begin until December 14, the day after Al Gore's concession speech. Roughly half the time of a “normal” transition had been lost as the controversy over the Florida vote dragged on

  • Lessons from Past Presidential Transitions: Organization, Management, and Decision Making

    Open AccessJoy Patricia Burke, John P BurkeARTICLEPresidential Studies Quarterly2001Cited by: 5

    In addition to careful and early consideration of the key positions on the White House staff and other appointments, transitions are also a time when presidents‐to‐be and their advisers need to think about how the pieces fit together into a larger whole. Part of that effort involves crafting the decision‐making processes and the various channels of information and advice that, once in office, presidents will need to use in making policy choices. …

  • A Tale of Two Transitions: 1980 And 1988

    Joy Patricia Burke, John P BurkeARTICLECongress & the Presidency2001Cited by: 1References: 1

    The 1980 Reagan transition and the 1988 Bush transition offer important case studies for understanding the challenges of presidential transitions. Although not without its shortcomings, the 1980 transition was, at least comparably, the most successful of the transfers in power since the modern era of presidential transitions commenced with the Carter effort in 1976. 1988 offers useful lessons about "friendly takeovers": the passing of power from …
