Description

Using a typology of worldviews based on perception of threat and expansionist or isolationist objectives, Hayden J. Smith examines influences on the foreign policy decision-making of individual US Presidents-including Richard Nixon, Jimmy Carter, George W. Bush, Barack Obama, and Donald Trump. Review "A well-written and thoroughly researched critique of conventional international relations theory and necessity of what Hayden Smith calls bridging the gap between systemic theories and the personalities who are powerful enough to shape political realities. Smith exhaustively covers the worldview of five American presidents and how the differences in perception and personality have shaped the security outcomes for Americans and the world."--Craig Whiteside, U.S. Naval War College This book breaks new ground in bringing both image theory and operational code analysis to focus on the task of understanding the realist and idealist worldviews of several U.S. presidents as they have made foreign policy decisions over the past forty-five years. The images and beliefs of these leaders are important sources for identifying the systemic and cultural factors that influenced these decisions as well as the contents of their individual worldviews.--Stephen G. Walker, Arizona State University About the Author Hayden J. Smith is in the Department of Political Science at Western Carolina University.
