Meet VCU Authors | Isolation and Engagement with Bill Newmann

In this Meet VCU Authors talk, Bill Newmann looks at how U.S. presidents manage the advisory process for foreign policy decision making. What often seems like chaos has real patterns to it, patterns that repeat themselves in many administrations. These patterns allow us to develop theories on how presidential decision making works. Based on his book "Isolation and Engagement: Presidential Decision Making on China from Kennedy to Nixon," Newmann focuses on the Evolution-Balance Model in the foreign policy decision making of presidents Kennedy, Johnson, and Nixon, primarily toward China. Join us a talk exploring the patterns in presidential foreign policy decision making, and what we can learn from analyzing these models today.
