Crafting foreign policy today is a pluralistic process—more actors are involved, partisan loyalties are stronger, and decisions made elsewhere impact the U.S. in significant ways. The president, members of Congress, interest groups, NGOs, the media, and bureaucratic actors all compete to influence the way U.S. foreign policy is shaped and implemented. Editor Ralph Carter captures this interplay with 15 recent real-world cases—five brand new to this third edition. Whether grappling with the controversy stemming from immigration reform, dealing with Iran’s nuclear weapons program, exploring the impact of the WTO and export tax subsidies, or determining the rights of detainees in the war on terrorism, students are encouraged to question motives, consider alternatives, and analyze outcomes.  Each case is consistently structured with a list of \"before-you-begin\" questions that frame the issues, introductory and background sections, a timeline of important events, and a descriptive list of key actors.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50000699883793,"sku":"CIN087289472XG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50372518412561,"sku":"CIN087289472XVG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/087289472X.jpg?v=1750883731"},{"product_id":"essentials-of-u-s-foreign-policy-making-book-ralph-g-carter-9780205644391","title":"Essentials of U.S. Foreign Policy Making","description":"Succinctly demonstrates the foreign policy making process     Essentials of U.S. Foreign Policy Making identifies the different actors who make U.S. foreign policy and how theories like realism, liberalism, idealism, and constructivism shape their actions in the post-9\/11 era.  It describes the process by which foreign policy decisions are made and helps readers assess which stages of the foreign policy process favor which actors.        NOTE: This is the standalone book.         MySearchLab is a part of the Carter program.

The new fifth edition captures this strategic interplay using 15 real-world cases, of which four are brand new: the death of Osama bin Laden and the use of targeted assassinations, nonproliferation policy and the U.S.-India nuclear agreement, the U.S. reaction to Egypt's collision with the Arab Spring, and the surprise asylum request of blind Chinese dissident Chen Guangcheng.

Challenging conventional views, the contributors reveal how members of Congress have been active and assertive, utilizing numerous different means to influence US foreign policy, sometimes supporting and sometimes opposing the President.  The contributors provide in-depth analysis and expert perspectives on the issues, decisions, and debates that have arisen across multiple presidential administrations in the polarized political context since the end of the Cold War. This polarized environment greatly increases the conflict among, and complicates the ability of, policymakers to reach compromises, much less consensus, on the appropriate ends and means of US foreign policy.   This timely and cohesive reassessment of the tumultuous years of the most recent presidential administrations focuses analytical attention on the patterns of engagement between Congress and the President and the range of avenues and influence by the collective institution and its individual members. It thus sheds light on the role and behavior of Congress and its members in US foreign policy as a vital aspect of understanding how and why the US chooses its policy courses toward the world.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52591526445329,"sku":"NLS9781538151235","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9781538151235.jpg?v=1761064141"},{"product_id":"congress-and-u-s-foreign-policy-book-ralph-g-carter-9781538151228","title":"Congress and U.S. Foreign Policy","description":"In Congress and U.S. Foreign Policy, leading scholars examine the foreign policy activity, role and influence of the U.S. Congress in the current polarized and partisan political context.

Carter and James M. Scott focus on “congressional foreign policy entrepreneurs,” the often unrecognized representatives and senators who take action on foreign policy matters rather than waiting for the executive branch to do so. These proactive members of Congress have undertaken many initiatives, including reaching out to Franco’s Spain, promoting dÉtente with the Soviet Union, proposing the return of the Panama Canal, seeking to ban military aid to Pinochet’s regime in Chile, pushing for military intervention in Haiti, and championing the recognition of Vietnam. In Choosing to Lead, Carter and Scott examine the characteristics, activities, and impact of foreign policy entrepreneurs since the end of the Second World War. In so doing, they show not only that individual members of Congress have long influenced the U.S. foreign policy-making process, but also that the number of foreign policy entrepreneurs has grown over time.Carter and Scott combine extensive quantitative analysis, interviews with members of Congress and their staff, and case studies of key foreign policy entrepreneurs, including Frank Church, William Fulbright, Jesse Helms, Edward Kennedy, Pat McCarran, and Curt Weldon. Drawing on their empirical data, the authors identify the key variables in foreign policy entrepreneurship, including membership in the Senate or House, seniority and committee assignments, majority or minority party status, choice of foreign policy issues, and the means used to influence policy. By illuminating the roles and impact of individual members of Congress, Carter and Scott contribute to a more nuanced understanding of the broader U.S. foreign policy-making process.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":53490215289105,"sku":"NIN9780822345039","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9780822345039.jpg?v=1777732169"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/collections\/author-books-by-ralph-g-carter.oembed","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
