President Ford, the Asalh, and the political origins of black history month
In 1976, the Association for the Study of Afro‐American Life and History (ASALH) expanded their observance of black history from a week to a month. This decision was made because of the fortuitous timing of America's bicentennial, which the ASALH saw as an ideal opportunity not only to spotlight African American history as a fundamental part of United States history and to highlight black contributions to the country but also to celebrate its fou…
Leadership and Foreign Policy Analysis
The classical literature on leadership—or at least the portion of it relevant to questions of foreign policy analysis—greatly evolved and changed over time from its beginnings in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. As new theoretical approaches and methodologies appeared, scholars eventually began to study the contextual nuances in this relationship between leaders and foreign policy. Yet, in its earliest incarnation, the literature was domin…

Leadership Style, Crisis Response and Blame Management: The Case of Hurricane Katrina
Crisis management research has largely ignored one of the most pressing challenges political leaders are confronted with in the wake of a large-scale extreme event: how to cope with what is commonly called the blame game. In this article, we provide a heuristic to help understand political leader responses to blame in the aftermath of crises, emphasizing the crucial role of their leadership style on the political management of Inquiries. After in…
Governing after Crisis: The Politics of Investigation, Accountability and Learning
The constant threat of crises such as disasters, riots and terrorist attacks poses a frightening challenge to Western societies and governments. While the causes and dynamics of these events have been widely studied, we know little about what happens following their containment and the restoration of stability. This volume explores 'post-crisis politics,' examining how crises give birth to longer term dynamic processes of accountability and learn…
Individual Characteristics of Political Leaders and the Use of Analogy in Foreign Policy Decision Making
The linkages between individual characteristics of political leaders and their usage of historical analogy during foreign policy decision‐making episodes were examined. The individual characteristics studied were conceptual complexity and policy expertise, while usage of analogy was studied in terms of the sophistication and source of historical comparisons. The great majority of the analogies used by low‐complexity individuals were nonsophistica…

The President and His Inner Circle: Leadership Style and the Advisory Process in Foreign Policy Making
Few would argue that presidential policies and performance would have been the same whether John F. Kennedy or Richard Nixon became president in 1960, or if Jimmy Carter instead of Ronald Reagan had won the White House in 1980. Indeed, in recent elections, the character, prior policy experience, or personalities of candidates have played an increasing role in our assessments of their "fit" for the Oval Office. Further, these same characteristics …

Who Leads Matters: The Effects of Powerful Individuals
Understanding and Evaluating Bureaucratic Politics: The Nexus Between Political Leaders and Advisory
Bureaucratic politics—for example, the “political” interaction between individuals and organizations in the executive branch of government—is a potentially significant force affecting the course and outcomes of governmental policymaking processes. In this article, an empirical and normative model and operationalization of bureaucratic politics is developed, treating it as a variable rather than as an immutable (and by definition problematic) prop…
From Lambs to Lions: Nuclear Proliferation's Grand Reshuffling of Interstate Security Relationships
This article argues that increasingly widespread proliferation of nuclear and delivery system capabilities to smaller states represents a fundamental redistribution of power in the international system away from Great Power dominance — forever altering the traditional `power politics' relationship between states first described by Thucydides. Building upon the broader security studies literature, the rapidly evolving nuclear security relationship…

Presidents, Advisers, and Foreign Policy: The Effect of Leadership Style on Executive Arrangements
As the world grows more complex, interdependent, and filled with uncertainties, presidents face an increasing dilemma in the making of foreign policy. More parts of the government have become involved in the foreign policy-making process and increasing numbers of agencies, organizations, and people have developed some interest in what happens in the international arena. Presidents inevitably are drawn into the whirlpool of foreign affairs (Fallow…
