The Power Brokers: An Uneven History of the National Security Council
Trade Threats, Trade Wars: Bargaining, Retaliation, and American Coercive Diplomacy
Trade Threats, Trade Wars: Bargaining, Retaliation, and American Coercive Diplomacy. By Ka Zeng. Ann Arbor: University of Michigan Press, 2004. 324p. $57.50. This book examines bilateral U.S. trade diplomacy during the 1980s and early 1990s. Ka Zeng advances (and generally sustains) an important thesis: that in trade disputes, U.S. policy has been tougher and more effective toward advanced industrial democracies (Europe, Japan) than nondemocratic…

The Myth of the “Electoral Lock
For at least two decades, it has been conventional wisdom among political guras that our system of choosing presidents through electoral votes, accumulated state by state, offers Republicans a substantial edge. Representative is a comment by a Democratic strategist to Newsweek (7/27) in the summer of 1992: “It's the same map we've had to deal with for years—and the results haven't been good. You need all the breaks with a map like that....” The n…

Dollar Politics: Exchange Rate Policymaking in the United States
From Neglect to Activism: American Politics and the 1985 Plaza Accord
US exchange rate policy shifted in 1985 from unilateralist nonintervention to actively promoting dollar depreciation and multilateral cooperation. Pressures from producer interests, particularly multinational companies making manufactured goods, and from sympathetic members of Congress were the most important of multiple forces pushing the US Treasury toward dollar depreciation. Once the Treasury had chosen an activist course, a multilateral stra…

The Reagan administration's continued success in winning support from Congress, even on the most disputed issues, reveals less the administration's skills of persuasion than traditional congressional ambivalence toward the executive branch and the resultant policy weaknesses

National Security Management: What Presidents Have Wrought
It was the third week of March 1980 and for the internationally minded the headlines leaped out from the page. The New York Times proclaimed a Foreign Policy in Deep -Disarray; the Washington Post reported Errors and Crises: A Foreign Policy against the Ropes. The subheads were no less damning: Europe: Allies View Carter White House as Unpredictable and Insensitive; or Pakistan: The Policy Shift by Washington Was Too Sharp and Too Fast. All reinf…

United States food policy 1972–1976: Reconciling Domestic and International Objectives
US food policy is a product of four legitimate but competing concerns: (1)farm policy; (2)domestic economic policy; (3)foreign policy; and (4)global welfare and development policy. Five major policy episodes in 1972–76 illustrate their interplay: the Soviet grain sales of 1972; the soybean embargo of 1973; the food aid debate of 1974; the food reserves proposal of 1975; and the Soviet grain sales of 1974 and 1975. Competing policy concerns were m…

National Security Advice to U.S. Presidents: Some Lessons from Thirty Years
Since 1947 the major formal institution for channeling national security advice to Presidents has been the National Security Council. The Council has operated (1) as a forum where senior officials meet with the President; (2) as a focal point for formal policy planning and decision processes; and (3) as an umbrella for establishment of a Presidential foreign policy staff. The first was the goal of its proponents; the last is what it has most impo…
