Description

The evolution from the traditional to the modern Presidency took a century - the shift from the modern to the postmodern Presidency has occurred within two decades. The transition to a world in which Presidents must bargain with leaders of other nations has occurred so abruptly that some presidential candidates have yet to notice it. Yet even the briefest consideration of America's position in the world economy makes it clear that the days are gone when President Kennedy could pledge that America would pay any price to lead the world. This book is divided into four parts. Part I describes what the "postmodern presidency" is - the imperatives for action, the standards for assessing performance and how the Presidency differs from other forms of democratic government. Part II analyses the tangible and intangible resources of the Presidency. Part III considers the way in which economic problems and national security issues are dealt with - in Washington and in an international system which America can no longer dominate. Part IV evaluates how American people judge a President and how other countries view the Oval Office.
