Scholars Who You Read Anything You Can Get That They've Written
2010/6/22
形式:ハードカバー
Betty Glad is one of those scholars in which you read anything you can get your hands on that she has written. As with her previous work, in An Outsider in the White House, Glad continues to provide the reader with a sophisticated analysis of important political figures. She offers keen insights into the political character and performance of key actors involved the Carter foreign policy process, notably that of the President, his Secretary of State and National Security Advisor. As with her psychobiography of President Jimmy Carter entitled Jimmy Carter : In Search of The Great White House, Glad again captures the complexity of Carter's foreign policy thinking and the dynamics of his leadership style. She offers profound insights into his decisionmaking and advisory relations, which remain applicable to contemporary times.
I have used this book in my political psychology class at the C.W. Post Campus of Long Island University where the students are asked to apply psychological theories to the character and performance of the individual actors as well as the group as a whole. (One student continuously discussed the book with me after class sessions). Students admire the amount of thorough research and comprehensive analysis that emerges from this first-rate work. Glad's comprehensive appraisal is superb and is illustrated in her ongoing account of the ascendency of National Security Advisor Zbigniew Brzezinski's dominant role as foreign policy advisor within Carter's inner circle at the expense of Secretary of State Cyrus Vance who initially served as the president's more influential confidant. Finally, Glad's account of Carter's management of foreign policy, which was conducted largely through diplomacy and negotiation, can offer today's decisionmakers "lessons from history" as they weigh whether to follow such a cautious diplomatic approach against the hasty use of force in their navigation through this post- Cold War/post-9/11 world.

What makes a good president?
2009/12/31
形式:ハードカバー
What makes a good president? What makes a great president? Who influences the president? How does the president work with congress? These are questions that arise every day when we watch President Obama work with congress to improve health care or to confront the dangers of the radicalized Middle East. Betty Glad is the perfect guide to power and influence in the White House. Glad gives a real insider's view of how power and influence played their parts in major decisions and initiatives in the Carter White House.
The book isn't light reading. Glad challenges her readers and expects them to pay attention as she sets the stage and presents the major players in the SALT talks, turning over of the Panama Canal, normalization of relations with China, and Carter's push for human rights around the globe. An appendix provides a quick review section of the "actors" involved in each challenge or initiative the Carter administration faced so that by the end of the book, I felt that I recognized key administration officials like Richard Holbrooke, Cyrus Vance, or Zbigniew Brzezinski when they would walk into a meeting.
Carter was the first president I voted for. I remember how my initial idealism turned into frustration - Why was a man as good as Carter and as smart as Carter running into so many road blocks? Glad's book has given me a framework with which to look at Carter and the many accomplishments of his presidency that is a bit more nuanced than the good guys/ bad guys framework I had in 1977. Let's see if I can give up some of the hero worship and use Glad's more balanced framework to follow the actors, the challenges, and the initiatives that will make up the Obama presidency.

Sophisticated Account of Carter FP, Perfect Book for My Class
2010/5/25
形式:ハードカバー|Amazonが確認した購入
Professor Glad's book provides a nuanced and balanced account of the dynamics, relationships, and struggles that are involved in the inner circle of American foreign policy making during the Carter years. I am using this book as text book for the class that I teach. It is a course about the two level game between domestic politics and international negotiations. On the domestic level, my class is organized around the roles of the President, Vice President, National Security Advisor (NSA), and Secretary of State. This book provides detailed information on the roles that the above listed players have on foreign policy decision making. The cases studies are quite illuminating. I found it especially revealing in the case of "the Tilt towards China", how the NSA played the role of a motivated tactician and gradually gained his influence on the President over the Secretary of State.
The book is a perfect fit for my class. After all the other readings that provide theoretical argument of foreign policy decision making, the students can have a better grasp of applying theory to actual cases that are included in Professor Glad's work.
