Описание: Americans constantly make moral judgments about presidents and foreign policy. Unfortunately, many of these assessments are poorly thought through. A president is either praised for the moral clarity of his statements or judged solely on the results of their actions. In Do Morals Matter?, Joseph S. Nye, Jr., one of the world's leading scholars of international relations, provides a concise yet penetrating analysis of the role of ethics in US foreign policy during the American era after 1945. Nye works through each presidency from FDR to Trump and scores their foreign policy on three ethical dimensions of their intentions, the means they used, and the consequences of their decisions. Alongside this, he also evaluates their leadership qualities, elaborating on which approaches work and which ones do not. Regardless of a president's policy preference, Nye shows that each one was not fully constrained by the structure of the system and actually had choices. He further notes the important ethical consequences of non-actions, such as Truman's willingness to accept stalemate in Korea rather than use nuclear weapons. Since we so often apply moral reasoning to foreign policy, Nye suggests how to do it better. Most importantly, presidents need to factor in both the political context and the availability of resources when deciding how to implement an ethical policy-especially in a future international system that presents not only great power competition from China and Russia, but a host of transnational threats: the illegal drug trade, infectious diseases, terrorism, cybercrime, and climate change.

Описание: Serves as a history of works - including autobiographies, diaries, memoirs, political manifestos, speeches and others - authored by US presidents and published prior to, during or after their terms. The book tells how writing was easy for some and harder for others. It is the story of literary comebacks, bestsellers, false starts and failures.
An invaluable guide to President Trump's comments and quotes on various subjects.
No president in history of the United States has been as prolific as President Trump in letting the public know his thoughts. Most of us know about the President's fondness for tweeting, but he has also been very forthcoming in speeches and interviews. Even more content has been written about him, both from his fans and his detractors. And despite his responses and tweets on various subjects being publicly available, he is often misrepresented by both sides.
This volume deals with the following subjects:
Democrats
Republicans
Healthcare/Obamacare
Obama/Hillary
Own Presidency/Administration
Election Campaign
Personal and Business Matters
Press/Media/Journalists
Social Media/Twitter
Taxes
The World According to Trump is a direct compilation of his tweets, speeches, interviews etc., sorted by subject matter. Forget all that is said about him...this is President Trump, describing how he sees the world in his own words.
We have attempted to include all tweets and other direct quotes for the subject matters discussed, however clear repetitions have not been included due to the sheer volume of material available. Attributions which could not be clearly sourced have not been used, and every quote or tweet is clearly labelled with the source and date.
Despite eliminating repetitions, the volume of data has required us to break the book into two manageable volumes. Each volume concentrates on certain subject areas from the time of his election through 2019.
These two volumes are the definitive source for finding out what Trump believes on numerous topics, conveniently sorted by subject matter. All in his own words, without any embellishments, extraneous comments or editorializations.

Описание:
In this timely addition to the Ohio Short Histories of Africa series, Pamela Scully takes us from the 1938 birth of Nobel Peace Prize winner and two-time Liberian president Ellen Johnson through the Ebola epidemic of 2014–15. Charting her childhood and adolescence, the book covers Sirleaf’s relationship with her indigenous grandmother and urban parents, her early marriage, her years studying in the United States, and her career in international development and finance, where she developed her skill as a technocrat. The later chapters cover her years in and out of formal Liberian politics, her support for women’s rights, and the Ebola outbreak.
Sirleaf’s story speaks to many of the key themes of the twenty-first century. Among these are the growing power of women in the arenas of international politics and human rights; the ravaging civil wars in which sexual violence is used as a weapon; and the challenges of transitional justice in building postconflict societies. Ellen Johnson Sirleaf is an astute examination of the life of a pioneering feminist politician.
Описание: This work examines expressions of personal hostility and animosity toward presidents-even beloved ones-throughout American history and their impact on policymaking, politics, and culture. People involved or simply interested in politics often ask whether today`s political environment is more toxic than ever before.
Excluded from the ranks of elite executive decision-makers for generations, women are now exercising power as chiefs of government and chiefs of state. As of April 2016, 112 women in 73 countries have served as presidents or prime ministers.
The Gendered Executive is a critical examination of national executives, focusing on matters of identity, representation, and power. The editors and contributors to this volume address the impact of female executives through political mobilization and participation, policy- and decision-making, and institutional change. Other topics include party nomination processes, the intersectionality of race and gender, and women-centered U.S. foreign policy in southern Africa. In addition, case studies from Chile, India, Portugal, and the United States are presented, as are cross-national comparisons of women leaders in Latin America.
The Gendered Executive will enhance our understanding of the complexity of gender in and comparative analyses of executive politics.
